PGMR_1998,

Hey, we just did something like this yesterday.

If you can post a small sample of the file and the structure of
the table you want the data put into we can go from there.

the file structure for the mdb should be exactly as the input test file. attached is a sample of the input text table.

PGMR_1998,

I have a db that correctly reads in your data, BUT it does
not know how to handle the Amendments and Supplements.

They greatly complicate matters.

Will continue later, have to work.

PGMR_1998,

One last thought for a while.

This data is really a report produced by something.
What produced it?

It might be easier for you to extract the data from that
source.

Let me know.

Wayne, u are right. I will try that approach. Thanks for your thoughts...
