Hi there - not sure if I should be posting this here or in the Office group...

I'm having a problem with importing data from excel using ADO.

I successfully pull in data from a spreadsheet supplied by externals into the ADODB.recordset rsVals.

rsVals("SummaryDescription") is a text field.

My Problem is rsVals("SummaryDescription").DefinedSize = 255
whereas
rsVals("SummaryDescription").ActualSize = 760

Predictably, this means I'm getting garbage.

Does anyone know of a workaround for this? Also, let me know if I'm better off posting in another group!

Thanks for your help!

Kevin
