I'm importing data from Excel to an existing Access
table.  Some of the fields in the Excel spreadsheet are
zero-length text strings (=""), and these fields are
formatted as text in my Access table.  But when I try to
import, Access creates an ImportErrors table and says that
field caused a Type Conversion Failure error.  Why, and
how do I avoid this?  Thanks...

Not sure...
Did you check the table structure?
Are zero length fields allowed?
