    TransferSpreadsheet to Access local table suddenly begain to log errors

    Guess one could have looked a little longer before posting? Found this on MSDN: My Comment: Of course, adding data to the process is not the best solution. Since the error isn't actually hurting anything, maybe a routine to delete all tables with the name like import errors? Still...
