Issue querying from Access database: “could not convert string to float: E+6”

Question

I have a database in MS Access. I am trying to query one table to Python using pypyodbc. I get the following error message:

ValueError: could not conv

Answer 1

As I was putting together test files for you to try to reproduce, I noticed that two of the fields in the table were set to Single type rather than Double. Changed them to Double and that solved the problem. Sorry for the bother and thanks for the help.
