Erick,
You are absolutely correct. When I opened the table in Excel I can see some field names truncated to 10 char and they are the same. Thank you for your help!

Maybe the original table had fields name like "myFieldConnString" and "myFieldConnPort" (bigger than 10). In the conversion, the fields new names was "myFieldCon" and "myFieldCon". This way, you get error "duplicate field name".
