I have tracked down the fields that seem to be causing the problem. Below is a picture of the Design View for my table. The fields named Ht, College, Dob, State, and Country are the fields that give me the subscript message (I know this because I tried uploading different times with just one of these fields mixed in with the fields that would upload). My first guess for the Height was just a matter of the data type being wrong, but I changed the Ht column to text on my Excel spreadsheet and the same message occurs.
Here is some more insight on these fields:
Ht: Display control: combo box, with a value list. The record source contains values such as: "6'1";"6'2";"6'3", etc.
College: Is listed in the picture. This is being pulled from another table. I have another field labeled Transfer College that does this as well, but the expression is a bit different, and any data in a Transfer College column on excel will import over. I have tried altering the College data type to match the Transfer college, but I have to delete too many relationships and it screws up the record source for all of my forms and reports.
DoB: It has an input mask of: 99/99/0000;0;" " Not sure why this doesn't work. Access seems to be picky with dates. When going through the import steps it changes my dates in my spreadsheet to a 5 digit number.
State: Again, another combo box with a value list. State abbreviations are the record source. I would think this would upload. Should I just remove the combo box and value list for now, and then reset this after I transfer my data over?
Country: Another combo box, but this one is pulling its data from a table with countries listed.
