I guess I will be busy changing this manually, just about 8000 lines. 0 This discussion has been inactive for over a year. You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

However, in the Access data base, we have a few columns that are from pick lists (a table referring to another table for what options are available), to limit the options to those filling out a form. A few of the pick lists are single select while others are multi-select. When the import runs, for those that have pick lists, an error of “Unparsable Record” occurs for those columns and no data is entered. This error occurs even if the employer is a perfect match to one of the options. As a result, manual entry has to be done. Is there a work around to this error while not changing the pick lists or how the form is configured? I found this, but hope there is something that can be done to solve this issue to save some very tedious manual data entry. https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/287861-getting-unparsable-record-when-importing-to-access-2010 excel ms-access ms-access-2010 share|improve this question asked Aug 26 '15 at 16:44 edub 297 When you say pick list field, it sounds like you may be describing an Access look

I am trying to import a .txt file from an external source (which happens regularly). Inevitably, I will get import errors due to unparsable records (usually, one ms access import of the fields in the source file has misplaced quotes, which is confusing Access). Of course, Access reports these unparsable records into a separate table, but goes and head and imports them anyway to the table it creates when the import takes place. Question: Is there a way (setting?) to prevent these unparsable records from being imported into the main file, while still reporting the errors in a separate table? Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
