Hi,
This http://support.microsoft.com/?id=304206 shows how to change the
extensions that Access will accept. The neatest method is the last,
editing the registry (provided you're careful<g>).
Alternatively, this http://support.microsoft.com/?id=306144 includes
code that automatically makes a copy of the textfile with a .txt
extension and imports that. Could be modified to link it.
