Import of RTF to Access Database

I am having great difficulties trying to import rich text files to
Access. I am using Visual Basic 6. My problem is that the code I am
using will read some of the file perfectly, but then skip other parts.
I don't know what I am doing wrong but if anybody can point me towards
the right direction I would really appreciate it. I posted samples of
the rtf and the section of the program that I am having problems with
at http://www.geocities.com/ghero180/ghero180.html. Any advice or help
will be greatly appreciated.

Jerry,
I have been doing this for several years. I first save the RTF
file as text. It will take each column of the RTF file and makes it a
new line in the text file, but if you can live with that, you're OK.
Then I just open the file in VBA as text and parse the records.
Hank Reed

Dim handle%
Dim strTextLine As String

handle = FreeFile
FileName = "xyz.txt"

Open FileName For Input As handle

While Not (EOF(handle))
Line Input #handle, strTextLine
' Parse here

Hi, One of my clients has the following situation.

Huge Access db with over 100 user tables, over 60 MB data. The DTS package that comes with SQL Server 2000 seems pretty "messy" in the sense that it assumes that one needs to do one time import only or accurately it does not...

A 'newbie' question - importing into Access from Excel. Googled the group postings but I can't find the amswer I have a 50 line three column file in Excel that contains Names and Tel numbers. Each column is named to agree with the Access database. Read the instructions "Import Excel files into an Access database". Followed them to the letter.
