Can linked tables be made for ".log" text files?
I'd like to make a linked table for a CSV-formatted text file. The file has a
".log" extension, which is required by another program that uses the text file. Access apparently doesn't support linking to ".log" text files. Is there any way make a linked table without changing the file extension before and after each use? -- Karlin High |

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 carefulg). 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.
