| I need to import and export files with the .dat extension. These files
are in another application that I need to interface with. When opened with
a text editor, it is clear that they are simple text files (fixed field)
but access does not seem to be willing to recognize files with the dat
extension. I do not want to have to manipulate the file extenstion
manually - any suggestions?
