Specification Name in ImportExportText Missing

[JimL]

I have created a "saved imports" file for importing a txt file into my database. I am attempting to create a macro to automate the process with the ImportExportText action.

When I come to the 'Specification Name' field, the dropdown list is empty. Will not allow any effort to manually populate the field.

Any help in resolving this problem is greatly appreciated!

Regards

Hi. Instead of using ImportExportText, try using the RunSavedImportExport action.

The specification file is a meta file that determines whether the data has a header row, what text qualifiers you are using, which columns are imported, what data type they should be, etc. This is different from the saved import process mentioned already.
