Problems exporting to Excel

I am having a problem exporting a linked SQL server table from Access 2003
to
Excel. The file is about 2,000 records with several columns. The problem
is that when the table is imported into excel some of the records are not
coming across with the correct data and when numeric fields are summed the
totals are wrong.
When I export directly to Excel from the SQL server using DTS, I don't have
this problem. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone have ideas of how to
fix it? I need to be able to allow the users to create queries in access
and export the data they need, so setting up a DTS as a solution is not
really workable (or at least I don't think it is).Hi Jim,
Being that this works fine from SQL Server but you are
having problems from MS Access, it's likely an MS Access
issue that you may want to post in one of the MS Access
newsgroups. Maybe try the following group:
microsoft.public.access.externaldata
