Text Import Wizard Problem in XP

Since I got a new PC with XP and the latest version of Access on it, I
have been having problems with the Text Import Wizard.

In the section where you specify the field options, when I click on
different fields, the field name doesn't change at the top so I can't
change the data type of any field other than the first one.

Is this a setting that I can change or fix somewhere?

Any feedback would be great - thanks!

I believe this was fixed in SP1 for Access 2003. See

Hi, I`m writing a wizard that very much resembles the Excel Text Import Wizard. So far so good but I have been unable to find a control to reproduce the step where the user picks the boundries of a fixed width text file. The file will be displayed in a fixed-width font, the user can insert a dividing line by clicking, remove by double clicking and move by dragging. The lines must move as a file with wide lines is scrolled. I must be...

Greetings When I use the import text wizard with a fixed width text file, I add a break at the correct column but it doesn't line up with the text. It seems that the display is shown in a non-proportional font. When I look at the text file in notepad it's all nicely lined up but in the wizard it's all over the place. Any ideas on how to fix this?

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

Has anyone had this problem where using the Text Import Wizard in Access 2002 Service Pack 3 does not allow you to change the field names for any field except the first one? If so, is there a possible fix? On machines with SP2, it seems to work fine. Same data/database.

We have new PCs with XP, but have installed Access 97 for reasons of backwards compatibility. When Access 97 was installed on NT, the Import Text Wizard used to allow the user to highlight each field and change the data type that it was to be imported as. Now, when you highlight each field, you only see the data type for the first field and cannot change the data type for any other fields. What could be causing this bug, and is there...

I know you guys are heavy duty coders, while I do ad-hoc analysis, and rarely write code.

I have 2 problems: 1. I want to import a single text file into an access table using a Macro. I am however getting an error that I need to put a specification name argument. What does this mean? It also suggests that I add a schema.ini in the source folder. What does this .ini do and how do I create and use it? 2. After this is resolved, I would like to be able to import several text files using a macro into the same table.
