Queries :: Cannot Append All The Records - Type Conversion Failure
Dec 23, 2013
I keep getting the above error in access 2010 and cannot see where the error is. I have checked that datatypes are the same. It keeps referring to type conversion failure and didn't add (1) record due to a key violation.
Code:
INSERT INTO Requests ( [Request no], [Date-time received], Customer, Dept, Type, [Service level], [Received by], [Date-time due], Quantity, [Cust requestor], Status )
VALUES (9896, NOW(), 'DEMO', 'Demo Ltd', 'I', 'S', 'LT', NOW(), 1, 'LT', 'O');

I have an update query:
Query: DateExtractor
--------------------------------
Type: update query
Field: ProductionDate
Table: Production
Update To: DateSerial("2000"+Val(Mid([Code];1;2));"Mid([Code];3;2)";"Mid([Code];5;2)")
Field [Code] is a Text field and ProductionDate is Date/Time type, with short date format.
As I run query, there's an error that says "Microsoft Access didn't update 99 field(s) due to DateSerial,..."

I am trying to import an Excel spreadsheet into an Access 2007 database. Each time I import, Access creates a 'type conversion failure' error database.
I set up the first field in my .db to be a TEXT field because the Field will have both numeric and text characters. The field name is [estimate number] with numbers such as 656111 or 65611A being imported. All the fields with the numeric and alphabetical combination (i.e. 65611A) are not being imported (which results in the creation of the error db).

I have created a make table query and using expressions for two of the fields. I have set the field properties (format) to "Percent". The expressions are calculating rates based on two other fields. The expressions are currently as such:
PTD_CM_PGM_RATE: IIf((IsError([PTD_CM_REPT_PGM]/[PTD_CM_REPT_ER])),"0%",[PTD_CM_REPT_PGM]/[PTD_CM_REPT_ER])
I'm using the IIF function to avoid potential errors should one or both of the values ("PTD_CM_REPT_PGM" or "PTD_CM_REPT_ER") be zero.
However, when running the query, I am getting the "...type conversion failure is caused when the data in one or more fields doesn't match...." error.

Hi,
I feel a little silly bringin this up but I have gone through the solutions provided on this topic but it all doesnt seem to work.
I am trying to up date my Products table with data from two other tables (Sales and Stock Receipt). I have made sure the data types in all the tables are the same (currency) but I still get this message
"Microsoft Access did not update 5 field(s) due to a data type conversion failure."
This is the expression I'm using in the update query
IIf(IsNull(DSum("[Quantity]","Sales Detail","Sales Detail.[ProductID]=" & [Products].[ProductID])),[Products]![OpeningStockAmt],[Products]![OpeningStockAmt]-(DSum("[Quantity]","Sales Detail","Sales Detail.[ProductID]=" & [Products].[ProductID])*[Products]![CostAmountperUnit]))

Hi,
I am having problems with a DLOOKUP expression in an update query.
I have set up a lookup table (imported from Excel and another table set up myself because of this error) with a date field and a week number field and I am trying to return the week number into another table for the date in another field. It is easy to do in Excel (VLOOKUP), but I have never done this in Access.
I am attempting to get the update query to update another table which has a Date of Booking and a new week number field. When I run the query, it has the error message that it cannot update all of the records, due to a type conversion failure. I thought that this error was due to fields have dissimilar data types and changed them until they were exactly the same - the Week Number are both Long Integer number fields and the dates are a General Date date fields.
The expression is: DLookUp("DLOOKUP Created.Week Number","DLOOKUP Created","Date = " & [2004 Lookup].[Date of Booking]). The lookup table is DLOOKUP Created and this is the return value I want. The 2004 Lookup table is the table that I want to update with the week number, using the date of booking.
Any help will b gratefully receive.
All the best,
Roly

Good afternoon all,
I have a macro that I run. In this macro, I've changed the "SetWarnings" to No. This works since I do not get a "Are you sure..." when I do a makeTable query and the table already exists.
However, I do get a type conversion failure error message.
Does someone know how I click Yes on this without any intervention on my part when the macro is running? Would entering keystrokes in the macro work? I don't think that they will since the next command is not called until the previous has executed ... and I'm getting hung up on the dialog box before the make-table command has finished execution.
I've attached the error message text that I'm seeing.
Thank you for your time and help.

I am trying to import records from Excel and I have two issues:
1) I have imported the excel file into a new table and I get type conversion errors just for fields 25, 26, 28 and 29 (and only for rows 2 to 25) but there aren't that many fields in the table.
2) The second is that I get key violations even though the indexing for all the fields for "table_candidate" is set to "no" (apart from the "cand_ID").
I can't see anything wrong with the records.

I need to import an excel spreadsheet into an existing Access 2003 table. Due to regulations, the spreadsheet cannot be linked.
When I try to import the spreadsheet, I receive a 'Type Conversion Failure' associated with a 'Product ID' field. In the Excel file, this column is populated with two types of values-- either a 9 digit number, or a 9 digit alpha numeric value. The 9 digit numbers import correctly, but the alpha numeric values fail.
Field names/layout in the excel spreadsheet are identical to the Access table, and the field type in the existing Access table is set to 'text.' There is no set Format, or Input Mask.
What I could change with the existing table to make this import work? I'd like to avoid importing a new table, as this would force me to recreate a number of relationships after each import.

I've got a CSV file that was created using SAS software. The CSV file has column titles in the first row. When I attempt to import the CSV file into Access 2007, some fields give a "Type Conversion Failure" error message.
These offending fields usually start with data that appears all numeric, although the column should be text, and the error occurs when an alphanumeric cell is encountered. In other words, it seems that Access 2007 is automatically switching to numeric based on what is initially encountered in a column.
Is there a way to tell Access to not do this type of recognition? Is there something else I must do to prevent this error from happening? Is there perhaps a piece of code I could use to eliminate these errors?
Thanks in advance to all who reply....looking forward to hearing from you!

I'm receiving an error indicating there is a data type mismatch when running a query named qappInventoryTakeOn.
Data is entered into the Inventory Transaction Form. If the transaction type is "Take On", when the update button is clicked the record will be saved to tblInventoryMovements and then qappInventoryTakeOn should run to update tblInventory, but I keep running into the aforementioned error.

Hi Gurus, need your help yet again.
I have a linked table in Access 2007(link back to SQL Server), and when i look into the values of a 'Memo' Column called "Column_1" in Access, it is just fine.
Now, In a query I am doing the following IIF statement:
Expr1: IIF([table_1].[Column_2]="Cost",[table_1].[Column_1]
But when i see the values of Column_1 now, some of the ending characters are being cut off, i only get half of the entire text.
Should i be doing any type-casting or anything to bring the entire text?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Kon

I have a linked table using ODBC. The table linked has improper field type: all numeric fields are linked as decimal. Because of this if I want to import the contens of this linked table in one new, the database has high dimension.
find a place where I can set the field conversion for linked tables or to make Access to performe the better type conversion (if the field is integer on source table to be integer on linked table as well and so on).

Hello,
I have getting type conversion errors for numeric and currency fields when importing an Ecxel spreadsheet into a Table in Access. I have tried changing the data type to text in Excel, and that is what it says I have done when I examine the field formats in question. How can I force this to be text, it keeps reverting,
i.e. the fields in question, to numeric and currency. Can anyone help? Thank you.

hello once again,
I need to import a text file into an existing table in Access. The text file has been imported once and is working well and everything. However, since I had to change some of the datatypes to be able to query the table correctly, I now cannot import the text file anymore unless I change the datatype of the table itself. Since someone other than I will be doing the imports from here on out, changing the datatypes everytime is out of the question. I was looking at the TransferText event, but I didn't seem to see anything about converting data types. I can think of two options, and neither are probably possible:
1. import using the wizard. Since I didn't see anything related to the types of data, I don't think this will work...
2.import using TransferText. This doesn't seem to give me any opportunity to change the datatypes either. Is there anyway to programmatically change datatypes, or is there possibly an easier way that I'm overlooking??
thanks in advance,
*j

Here's my Goal: To open a saved query that has a parameter, setting that parameter via a VBA sub.
Here's my Problem: I was getting various errors, but after debugging my program a bit, it comes down to a "Data Type Conversion Error"
Here's my Code:
Set db = CurrentDb
Set qd = db.QueryDefs("qryMY_DATA")
qd.Parameters(0) = Me.txt_ReferenceID
Set rs = qd.OpenRecordset("qryMY_DATA", dbDynaset)
Code:
'*** Database Variables
Dim db As DAO.Database, rs As DAO.Recordset, gq As DAO.QueryDef, prm As DAO.Recordset
I've been all over the forums and tried several different approaches, all to no avail. The Query runs fine in the QDT, but kicks back an error when I try to run it from my sub.

I built an Append Query to take records of 'Leavers' from my Primary Table and add them to a Secondary Table named 'Leavers. This worked perfectly, but on reflection I determined that I needed to append a further column 'Notes' which exists in the Main Table but not in the Secondary Table.I amended the SQL statement as follows, but the query now fails stating that it doesn't recognize the field 'Notes'.
INSERT INTO Leavers ( [Member ID], Surname, [First Name], [Address 1], [Address 2], Town, PostCode, Phone, [E-Mail], Notes )
SELECT [Mail List].[Member ID], [Mail List].Surname, [Mail List].[First Name], [Mail List].[Address 1], [Mail List].[Address 2], [Mail List].Town, [Mail List].PostCode, [Mail List].Phone, [Mail List].[E-Mail], [Mail List].Notes
FROM [Mail List]
WHERE ((([Mail List].Leaving)=True));
Does this mean that one would need to recreate a new Secondary Table to incorporate the additional field? I have attempted to edit the secondary table by merely adding the 'Notes' field but that doesn't seem to be possible.

Using a database 2010. I have a monthly import from a spreadsheet to one of my tables. Sometimes it has the same previous data from prior month or months that has not changed. I don't want to keep appending this data to my table if none of the fields have changed.
Is there a way to append data to table only if fields have changed in an append query? Ex. (Name, Address, PhoneNum, Rate) If all fields are the same; don't append. If one or more fields are changed; append.

- I have a module which runs queries on linked sales spreadsheets, to merge them in to one Access table.
- To prevent duplication of sales, the primary key merges the sales record and item number fields.
Today, it's found 103 key duplication errors, which is fine. But it's still adding data to the table. The data seems to be fields which aren't even mentioned in the query. It only does this when the query is ran from VBA.
Code:
MergeEbay = "INSERT INTO tblSales ( SalesRecord, SKU, PostCode, Shipping, Quantity, SalePrice, SalesRecordSKU, DateAdded )" & _
"SELECT exEbaySales.[Sales record number], IIf(exEbaySales.[Custom label] Is Null,'0',exEbaySales.[Custom label]), exEbaySales.[Buyer postcode], " & _
[code]...

I am creating a database where the records of individual students are to be moved to different table depending on where they are in the graduation process. In order to do this, the secretary will enter the student in the "90 Hr Request" table (think of it as the first step), and move them down the line of tables (4 in total) until the final "Completed" table. Each table in the progression has more and more fields. However, a student (with their ID number as the primary key) can only be in one table at a time.
I understand this does not sound like a traditional database, as the data is not normalized. However, this is being used more as a filing system than anything else. Their data is primarily paper based (for legality reasons), but wishes to keep it organized in a database so they can run queries and print reports.
Currently, I am creating a macro that will run specific queries (in an order). I have made an append query that will move the records over, then I used a update (to null) and delete query combo to delete the old individual record. I made the delete + update query work by using a selected criteria.
How to make the append query move only one student's record at a time.

I have created a linked Excel table in Access 2010 called 'tblExcelLinked' and I have a form called 'ASB Log Form' for the purposes of presenting the data in a more readable manner that is easier to view, plus link other fields of data that are not directly related to the 'tblExcelLinked'.
Because there is no unique ID in the 'tblExcelLinked' to create a relationship, I have created a table called 'tblASB', which allows me to add other table data linked from same d/b.
I now want to update the 'tblASB' with data from the 'tblExcelLinked', but only append new records from 'tblExcelLinked', but my inadequate append query is duplicating the records each time I run it, rather than just adding the new ones.
Once sorted my next challenge is a macro so that this runs automatically rather than being manually triggered.

No records are being imported. I am getting a validation rule violation but I don't have any rules. The forename and surname are straightforward text boxes and the ID is an autonumber.
Code:
INSERT INTO table_candidate ( Cand_ID, Cand_forename, Cand_surname )
SELECT candidates.Cand_ID, candidates.Cand_forename, candidates.Cand_surname
FROM candidates;
1. Is your append query trying to assign values to the primary key field? Could that be the source of the duplicate?
Yes but there are no duplicates
2. Do you have any other fields that are "Indexed: No Duplicates"? Any compound indexes?
No
3. Is the query assigning values to a field that is a foreign key to another table? Is it possible that these values do not match the values in that other table?
No. All child tables are empty.
4. Is there a validation rule on the table itself?
What this means.
5. Does the query attempt to assign a string with no characters in it (as opposed to a Null value) to a text field that has its Allow Zero Length property set to No?
Both fields are text and all records contain information
Required = No
Zero length = Yes
6. Is there a Default Value in one of the fields that is NOT being assigned by the query? For example, a foreign key with zero as the Default Value?
No
7. Is there data that is outside the range a field can accept, e.g. an integer larger than 32767, or a Null to a Yes/No field?
The length of the text in each record is not greater than the set limit
8. Is one of the query fields arriving in a format that Access is not understanding, e.g. for a date, or for a currency?
No

I have a variable (dtDueDate as Date) showing as 6/28/2013. I want to append a time value to it (dtMaxTime as Date) which is 5:00 PM so dtDueDate reads 6/28/2013 05:00:00 PM. I have been going in circles trying to figure this out. My goal is to append this date to a table field which has a datetime (General Date).

hi Guys,
I have been looking at different post and checking Microsoft help files as well, but still can't seem to fix this problem.
I am having 2 tables. The first table is connected to a form for viewing and entering data, and in the second table i am just copying 3-4 fields from the first table.
I am trying to use the insert statement to insert records in the second table, and everytime i click on the "Add" button to add the records i get the following error "MS access can't append all the records in the append query ... blah blah blah"
However if i close the form and reopen it, and goto the record (as it is saved in the first database) and now click on the add button to add the fields to the second table/database, it works.
What am i doing wrong???
Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.
