Import Text Problem

Access 2002 with SP3. I attempted to import a fixed width file using
the import text wizard. In the window where I am supposed to be able
to specify information about each of the fields I am importing, under
Field Options, the Field Name is Field1. In the lower part of the
window, I clicked on Field2 but the Field Name did not change. I
attempted to change the Field Name to Field2, but it wouldn't let me.
Your assistance will be appreciated!

Click on the "Advanced" button. Obviously MS thinks that renaming more than
just one field is an Advanced Feature.

It is an error caused by SP3. Need to download post-SP3 fix issues.
