Import Errors from MS Access

I encountered errors while importing tables from an Access. The only tbales
that errored had date/time fields and it seems SQL didn't like them. The tab
les work just fine in Access so I'm surprised SQL didn't like them. Anyone s
ee this before?Alan,
Most likely cause: MS Access supports dates as early as Jan 1, 100, while
SQL Server only supports dates back to Jan 1, 1753. You probably have a date
prior to Jan 1, 1753. Before you dismiss this idea, keep in mind that a
simple data entry error can morph Jul 15, 1999 to Jul 15, 199 :-)
Use an Access query to locate dates earlier than Jan 1, 1753.

The tables work just fine in Access so I'm surprised SQL didn't like them.
Anyone see this before?|||On Tue, 23 Mar 2004 16:01:06 -0800, "Alan Fisher"

Different versions of Access have different levels of support for
upsizing. Try with Access XP or 2003.
When push comes to shov, it's not so hard to build those few tables
yourself, and write append queries to copy over the data.
