Excel ODBC to Sybase DB gets invalid precision value

[Jon Martin]

I am trying to use the Excel ODBC Driver to read rows from
a spreadsheet to load them into a Sybase ASE 12.5 Table.
The columns from the Excel Sheet are all returned as being
VARCHAR(255). I defined my Sybase table to also have all
columns as VARCHAR(255). When I load the table there is
no problem if the incomming column has data. If the
incomming column is empty I get "Invalid precision value".

Can anyone help?

Thanks
