How to find row with more than 255 characters in a cell
I have code to import an Excel spreadsheet into an Access database. What I
am finding is that Access decides the data type for a field by looking in the first 25 rows of the spreadsheet. If it sees more than 255 characters in a cell it decides the column is "memo", and if it doesn't it decided the field is "text" and truncates after 255 characters--this is not desired! Right now I am manually looking at the rows to find one that has a large amount of data, cutting and inserting it at the top of the spreadsheet. I would really like to include this step in my code but have no idea how to go about it. Can anyone help? Thank you, Judy |
