Hopefully someone else can use that registry setting instead of having to do as ridiculous of a workaround as I was forced to do. I wish I had known about the registry setting, but couldn't have used it anyway as it's against company policy (or at least ridiculously hard to process a registry setting modification through change control for something as insignificant as an MS Access/Excel application). I'll have to keep this in mind for anytime it comes up again outside of the corporate world :). Joe,

If it helps at all, I did find this on connectionstrings.com: Check out the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Excel] located registry REG_DWORD "TypeGuessRows". That's the key to not letting Excel use only the first 8 rows to guess the columns data type. Set this value to 0 to scan all rows. This might hurt performance. However the performance hit they speak of is considerable. Hope that helps. Joe Hey Matt, thanks for the post. If it helps at all, I did find this on connectionstrings.com:
