Error trying to link the CIS Part manager with a database Microsoft access (.mdb)

Hi I have an error trying to import my company's Access table to OrCAD CIS:  Error is (ORCIS-6238)  Part # property type not configured correctly in table capacitors. 

I am very confused by this error, I'm not sure what it wanted me to do.  Would anyone more knowledgeable here who has imported an Access database/table into CIS before be willing to help or make a suggestion, or see something in how I specified the tables here as incorrect?  How do I configure Part Number correctly in access table, should it have been a Number instead of a short string? 

Also and this is an aside but I am also very confused by the internet component assistor (ICA)  and not sure how to get it to work especially based on this drop down.  How do ICA database properties?  Maybe there is a pdf guide that really is specifically geared toward the ICA that I just couldn't find.  I've even seen some guides say ignore the ICA because it is obsolete.

    Frank,

    We had similar issues when setting up our CIS. Since I don't know how your .mdb is setup I can't comment specifically, but in our case we set Part_Number equal to Part Number in the dropdown list. Has been working for YEARS this way.

    CIS Config

    Hope this helps...
