You can make an import spec & skip the fields that way - or - import into a
temp table & run an Append query on that

Pieter

the import wizard lets you exclude columns during a import....

file->get external data->import

when the wizard starts, select comma, delimiters etc....

Then hit the advanced button..you see a check mark to include only the
fields you want...

So, once you get this working via a manual process, then you can save this
'advanced' setting, and make the whole process a one button click affair
(note the "save-as" buttion in the advanced setting, this is how you "save"
your import spec..and once done, you can use this with the transfertext
command to automate the import).

So, take this one step at a time, save the import spec, and get the text
import working the way you want...
