Description

Text fields containing the character ' in uploaded worksheets cause no data to be loaded. Also this happens when numeric fields such as Priority or Unit Cost contain text. Upload must be improved to automatically handle these problems where possible. (Note: Error message code has already been added to detect these cases, but cdde not implemented to correct them.)

ALl special characters are handled ok. However, the error message returned when number fields contain text, e.g. is unclear:

No value given for one or more required parameters. (Microsoft JET Database Engine)
