Is there a way to avoid the error "Type Conversion Failure" when importing a date field in Access 2003 using the Import Specification in which some records have a NULL value in the date field?
I am working on an Access 2003 application using an MDB type file.
I import a text file using the Import Specification.
One of the fields I import is a date field which has a date format of yyyymmdd.
Some of the text file records I import have an actual date while other records have a date value of NULL.
When I finish with the import wizard, it generates a table with errors as a result of completing the import wizard in which the first field is titled Error and the values for this field are all the same value of "Type Conversion Failure".
