Importing from Oracle extract...
Hello!
Please, help me with this issue: I got a file which is an extract from Oracle database, and I want this file to be programmatically imported into MS Access table. This is an example of what kind of data this file contains: 243,177,699990000,"222222222222222222","3333333355 55555"," ",0,"AddressesOfsomeone",Yes The last line contains nothing but a graphical square :-/ The first line does not contain headers for fields. The file contains about 500 000 of such lines, so it's impossible to import this file into Excel. When I'm importing it into Access using DoCmd.TransferText method, I get an error message telling that there is no F1 field in corresponding table in Access database. The problem dissapears when I'm manually removing "-signs from that file. But, is it possible to do it programmatically using VBA? How can I open for editing an external file in txt format in VBA and remove all " and that fu**ing square at the end of the file and finally save it to the hard disk? Thank you 4 helping me Greetings from a stupid polish guy |

Importing from Oracle extract...
Jason,
Answered in macros newsgroup. A hint for the future... if you really think it is important for your post to appear in more than one newsgroup (in practice, it is seldom necessary), please cross-post (i.e. address the same post simultaneously to both groups), rather than multi-post (i.e. send a separate copy of the message to each group). Thanks. -- Steve Schapel, Microsoft Access MVP JasonS wrote: Hello!
