    Append Queries different datatypes

    Does anybody know a way to populate data in access without using the append query. Append query is not working because the data types are not all the same and when i try to convert them to be the same they delete.

    Can you explain

    If I understand correctly - you are trying to put data into a table - right?
    If so - the data type of the data you are trying to put into a field HAS to match the data type assigned to the field in your table that you are trying to put the data into.

    I have done data type conversion in queries in order to coerce the data to the type that is expected in the table - and it works. So you should be able to do it . . .

    Can you give us a few more details and maybe show us a screenshot of your table design and your Append SQL?

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
