Importing Error

‎02-14-2018 08:32 AM

We are having a problem importing from a large OBDC database with over 50,000 data values, input fails with an argument error but we have no idea what row.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

 

It's from a DBF table and we are getting an invalid argument error, using the Microsoft Access ODBC driver.

 

Thanks
