Hi,

I have just started getting the following bizarre error message when my
asp.net page queries the Access DB:

Exception Details: System.InvalidCastException: The data value could not be
converted for reasons other than sign mismatch or data overflow. For
example, the data was corrupted in the data store but the row was still
retrievable.

Not only do I have no idea what could be going on, I'm not really even sure
what an InvalidCastException is, or what can cause it. Can anyone explain?
Has anyone else encountered and solved this error?

Thanks,

JON

John,

It means that you are trying to insert a value that does not conform to your
field type. This is often seen with date and time formats. You might check
anything that is a string that is going into an integer field also and cast
it into an integer before trying your insert statement. I believe you may
also possibly get this error in Access if your data is longer than the field
allows so you might check the length of your insert data.

HTH,

Ronda
