SYMPTOMS

Microsoft Access set 0 field(s) to Null due to a type conversion failure, and it didn't add <number> record(s) to the table due to key violations, 0 record(s) due to lock violations, and 0 record(s) due to validation rule violations.

Do you want to run the action query anyway?
To ignore the error(s) and run the query, click Yes.

If you try to export a table, you receive the following error message:
