Thank you Hilary!!! That is exactly what I needed to know in order to find my problem. After you told me what the error meant, it was not difficult to find the problem!! It is all good now.
When I loaded my new data to the existing workbook, a column was left off one of the db queries, and thus one of the incoming spreadsheets, thus causing the next text field data to appear where a numeric code should have been.
I had looked and looked but could not really see it until you clarified the message. It was kinda like finding a needle in a haystack!! Thanks again for your fantastic help!!
