Is it possible to edit Saved Imports

[DC27]

Pretty straight forward question i think.

Havent worked out a way of doing it yet, so any definitive answer would be good

Any import you do into a table you can edit in any of the 'normal' table editing ways...
Update query
open as a recordset and "manually" edit using code
Open the table in a form to manually edit by a user

Good luck.

Hi,

I have the same problem; I have a saved import from an excell file into a table but I don't see how to edit the saved import.

The problem is that I created this saved import long ago and I don't know anymore the specifications. Where can I find back the specifications of this import?

Thanks for help.

It's a good question. There may be a better answer than this but one way is to start the import wizard as if you were creating a new import for your data. When you get to the step where you choose Dilimited/Fixed width, you should also see an "Advanced" button. Click Advanced and on the next pop-up, click "Specs". Hopefully that should list your saved specs which you can then select, edit and re-save.

Hope that helps the OP too.
