SYMPTOMS

When you import a spreadsheet that causes a "key violation" error, the resulting Import Errors table lists row numbers one greater than the actual spreadsheet row. For example, if row 2 from the spreadsheet file causes a key violation, then it is listed in the Import Errors table as row 3 (not row 2).

RESOLUTION

You can manually subtract 1 from the row numbers listed for "key violation" errors in the Import Errors table.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Open the sample database NWIND.MDB.
Export the Shippers table to a Microsoft Excel 5.0 file called Shippers.xls.
Import the Shippers.xls file and append the data to the Shippers table.
Click OK when you receive the following error message:

Import to Shippers finished - 4 records processed. 4 errors occurred. Error descriptions with associated row numbers of bad records can be found in Microsoft Access table Import Errors-<name>.
Open the Import Errors table. Note that the row numbers for key violations are 1 greater than the actual spreadsheet row.
