Getting an error:

Error at Destination for Row number 358. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1. Unspecified error.

My question is row 358. I have an ID column but the numbers are not in order and some are missing, like 3 is missing, doesn't exist, never has.

So, row 358 would not be my ID number but the actual row 358?

And if so, how to pull it up using a sql?

Thanks,

Zath

Ok, found the problem and a strange one indeed.

Manually counted the row till I was at 358.

That row had no info on some columns, it was an empty string.
Did not have the <NULL> value in it, so, I put something there and it transfered ok.

Very strange...

Quick question, how to input the <NULL> back for those columns?

I forget the keyboard shortcut for it.

I can do it using a sql of course update mytble set myfld = null, but there is a keyboard shortcut to do this while having the table open.

Thanks,

Zath

Keyboard shortcut is <CTRL> + 0
