How to convert the data type between Word table and Access table?

Hello

I am sure that some body must know how to do it. I am going to transfer data in Word table into Access table, however the data type in one of the Access field is Number, I have to convert the data in Word into number so that the type does not mismatch. The part of code as:

Set rs = dbs.OpenRecordset("Action", dbOpenDynaset)
With rs
.Addnew

!ActionID = TrsTable.Cell(i, 1)


The ActionID is the field name in Database table Action, the type is Number

I tried !ActionID=CInt(TrsTable.Cell(i, 1)), it does not work.

Any help please?

Thank you

The table cell range will include the paragraph mark (or cell mark, or whatever that little box is at the end of each cell). Anyway, the string has that extra chracter in it making the cell range non-numeric. You coul use the Val function if tere ae no commas in the number, but you might be better off just trimming that extra character ad converting to a number (integer, long, or single if you need larger numers with decimal places.

VB Code:

!ActionID = CSng(Left$(TrsTable.Cell(i, 1).Range, Len(TrsTable.Cell(i, 1).Range) - 1))

Hi WorkHorse

I tried use index to make it work before I received your reply.

!ActionID= TrsTable.Cell(i - 1, 1).RowIndex

It works, however I know this is not a good solution.

You are absolutely right. I noticed two little boxes are at the end of each row in my Access table after tranfering from Word, I tried to trim it by using

Left(TrsTable.Cell(i, 1), Len(TrsTable.Cell(i, 1)) - 2))

but it does not work, now I understand that I missed "Range" Object.

Your code is working perfectly. Thank you very much!
