Hi
Don't know if anyone has done this. According to KB article 119472
which applied to Access 97
"Import/export specifications are stored in the system tables
MsysIMEXSpecs and MsysIMEXColumns . "
It might be easier to write the whole import routine in VBA, specific
to your requirement, I have done that in the past

They're still there in 2002 but there's dangers for working directly
with system tables in any application being as they're generally
undocumented and for that reason, may change in a future version
rendering any code written on them useless. The added fact that those
two particular tables are read-only to us mortals didn't help either :-)

I've gone about it now by parsing the file and creating a CSV file from
that then linking directly to it, this doesn't need an import spec to
know where the delimiters are.

If you make Select queries on these tables, they can be freely updated by
hand, at least in Access 2000 and 97. Or you can modify values directly
using append and update queries.

Hello Experts,
Can you please help me out? I am very frustrated!

specification than add new name of the field and its specification, go
through the entire process, and at least it reconginse that I have
made changes to the spec, so...

Access 2K, SP3 on Windows 2K, SP4
All,
I have an import spec set up with quoted Identifiers and comma-separated
values. The text file is produced by a 3rd-party program of which I have no
control. It outputs all text fields surrounded by quotes, and all numeric
fields w/o quotes. All fields are separated with commas.
This has been working for 2 years, until today, when one of the data fields

Not that up on MS Access. I understand that the TransferText command
can be used to import csv files into a database. Question: Does the
text file have to mirror the alignment of the table columns e.g. must
field1, field2, filed3 etc correspond to col1, col2, col3 on the
table? or can I state somewhere which columns in the text file
correspond to which table columns. I actually need col1, col2, col5
and col6 from the text file to populate...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
