I am trying to import products from an Excel spreadsheet into my website using the OpenCart import tool. I keep getting error message that I have SQL syntax error 1064, telling me to check the manual (that I cannot find in cPanel). I cannot figure out

Hello MarciaR, Thank you for your question. The manual mentioned in the error is not a cPanel manual, but the online MySQL manual located at the MySQL website. I agree that it should probably mention that. A 1064 SQL error is a syntax error, which could mean several things. Most often it is either the use of a reserved word or assigning a value of an incorrect type to a field in the database. The latter is true in your case. The three values coming form your excel sheet designated as --- are being assigned to a numeric field in the database. Changing those values to 0 will correct it and the error will disappear.
