Always look at the resulting table to see if it's fields are defined 
correctly and display correctly when looking at table data.

Make sure columns are defined with proper data type such as date or time 
in your spreadsheet.

Until the resulting table is as close to your intended field type, keep 
making a new table.

Understanding through re-iteration will help you see the pitfalls.

If you can't get the import to the correct data type, import in such a 
way as to have complete data from spreadsheet field.

At this point, from within Base, you may be able to make a new table 
that has a correct data type and copy from Table-0 to Table-1.

Hope this helps
