Import Specs: Still buried in Access 2003?

I'm just starting in 2003, hoping to find a more direct route to
editing/listing Import Specifications than in 2000 - where you have to
initiatate an import, choose "Advanced", and then load a spec.

Or is it still the same?

If same, anybody have an idea why? Seems like a fairly glaring omission
from the UI....

I don't know if it will be of any help, but, I have an Access 97 add-in
that reads/updates Import/Export specs at

http://home.earthlink.net/~mgf00

Maybe you can convert it to Acc2003?

Hi, I recently upsized my access database to an ADP project with SQL backend. However when I did it the import/export specs were not ported to the new database. Also in the ADP files I am unable to create new import/export specs. The option is greyed out. I need to use the specs with the TransferText function. How can I get around this issue? Alok

If I try to run an Append query and insert data from the new table into an existing table, the query fails - "Error...

I have tried saving the import specs using the import wizard and specifying the same in the macro, but when I run the macro, the text file is imported without the ID field (Primary key field).
