Just so that you're not alone, I've had the same experience with MI 5.0.
Fortunately, though, my Excel data wasn't very large and I was able to add a
space character to all the "word" data. I did notice that it didn't affect
my numerical data (which was far more important). I'm sorry to say that I
don't really have a solution except to put in a space character....
sincerely,
Susan

Subject: MI: Import excel
Hello all,
I've a excel table which loses its last character in a characterfield
when imported in MI 5.0
No matter if the placename is short or long, the last character is
lost.
However, in MI 4.5 and 5.5 this problem does not occur.
Who has experienced this strange phenomenon before and, better, has a
solution. Of course you can export excel into dbase but this kind of
detours are not a solution. And why does it works fine in MI 4.5 and
5.5?
Thanks,
Patrick van der Deijl
