Tony, you can copy your fields on a notepad and then paste them to your desired table in
Access. I also had a simlar issue, and I got it resolved in a similar fashion.

Hope it helps.

wow! this really worked! I tried the workaround on the other sites saying to copy the file in excel and close it and say yes to the clipboard but that didnt work. This one pasted all the cells i needed for MS Access! I can’t uninstall the patches since this i dont have admin rights to this pc.
Thanks for this tip!!!

I’m sorry, Tony that the error persists. Sadly, as of now, I do not know any other solution to this problem.

I have neither of the patches listed above installed. Have Office 2007 SP2 and the paste error still appears. Any help appreciated.

Cheers
Tony

Google KB958437 and KB967699 – both patches need to be removed before you can copy and paste from Excel to Access… Microsoft’s Security patches have caused this.
