File too large?

[aokeefe]

I sent a file to someone and when they try to import it into Access 97 via the wizard they keep getting a message which says, "Can't start the import wizard. The first row of your data file is too large." Can anyone suggest what the problem might be and how to fix it? Thanks.
Regards,
Andy

In Access, record lengths are limited to 2k. If you think that your record length is shorter than that, the indifidual records of the file may not be separated by CRLF's. This would cause Access to think the entire file was a single record.
