MI RE: Import excel
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 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Patrick van der Deijl Sent: Thursday, December 09, 1999 5:13 AM To: 'MAPINFO-L' 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?

MI RE: Import excel
Hi Patrick, Are you running 5.0 or 5.0.1? If I recall it correctly, we had a similar problem with 5.0, but the problem went away by applying the service patch "mi501p.exe", and upgrading it to 5.0.1. It think that was a tiny programming glitch.
