I typically get an ASCII fixed width layout text. With each, I also get a
.txt layout document. How can a turn the layout document into an import spec
file? (Each file's layout is different and Here is a sample of a layout file
I get.
Thanks
Dave

Take a look at http://support.microsoft.com/?id=155512
While it only lists Access 95 and Access 97, I believe it applies equally to
all versions.
