Hi
I have opened a SharePoint 2010 List in Access as I need to add numerous amount of records however when I try to append to the column which is a lookup field in SharePoint and a number field shown in Access I am not able to as I get a mismatch.
The data that I am trying to append has a first name and surname columns which in my contacts list contains the first and surname plus a calculated field which adds the surname, firstname into a column called Name. This column is then used as a lookup column in another list which will contain the data I am trying to append however I get the issue with the name field.
Just to clarify I have mapped out the lists and data fields below
Contacts List - Columns called : First Name, Surname, Name
Contacts List - Column called Name is a calculated field =Surname&", "&[First Name]
Employee List - Column called: Name, Title etc
Employee List - Column called: Name is a Lookup field getting info from Contacts, in this column: Name
Access database - Contact List and Employee List linked
Access database - uploaded excel spread sheet with columns called: Firstname, Surname, Title etc
Need to append the information from excel spread sheet uploaded into Access into the Employee List which has a lookup to Contact List.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks
