Hello!
I am trying to append data into my master query and I keep getting the error message OLE DB or ODBC error: [DataFormat.Error] Unspecified error.
when i apprend the data i make sure that the headers are the same data types and still the error keeps happening. any idea on how to fix this?
thanks!
Hey @Anonymous
Can you please post some sample info that helps the community see the queries and/or data you are working with?
Hello!
@Anonymous sorry for the late relpy, I was out backpacking
So here is a picture of my queries:
Master data and master data (2) are both access files with data. I am trying to append master data (2) to Master data because the access file with the data for Master Data is full. But every time I try to append or even append to new querie I keep getting the same error message. The headers are the same and I make sure that the code in advanced editor is the same for both sources (except the file source)
heres a sample of the data:
