I am a novice MSAccess user trying to import a .tab file into Access.
The problem I am having is that the import is completing far too early
with what I know are too few records in the resulting table.
I think the problem might be a result of an old garbage character (the
.tab file is of old data) that might be inducing a ctrl break before
the import finishes.
Anyone know how to filter out data during an import? I know that I can
skip fields but beyond that my options seem quite limited.

Advance thanks for the help gurus...

Sometimes you can get lucky importing the file in Excel first.
Otherwise you'll have to write some code to process the file yourself.
