After importing a txt delimited file into Access 2007 with adding Couonter
there is a problem with column order. For example in txt file:
John|Doe|25.10. 2007
in new Access table are 4 columns:
Doe|John|1|25.1 0.2007
I need the same column order!
("1" is a Counter and I also need it in the first column not next to the last)
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Hi, haniss.
Column order is an issue of table/query layout, you don't need to do anything with import itself. If you want different column order, then just drag-n-drop column to an appropriate position and save table/query layout.
Good luck.
Column order is very important for me, because after some operations with
data in access, I export data back to txt file and I need the same column
order for the other software. Yes, I can do it via query, but I have 125 and
more columns...
Before Access 2007 I used Access 2000. There was everything O.K.

Please, post how do you perform the import.
I import txt files simply by the wizard in MS Access 2007.

Do you add records to an existing table or make new?

Hi, haniss.
I have Access 2003, so details may differ.
When import text file click button [Advanced...]. It will open dialog where you can change fields' order (as well as many other things). Save the import specification ([Save as ...]). Now you'll be able to import files with the saved specification choosing it from the same dialog window ([Specs...]).
I discovered, that this problem occur only if I add counter. If I import txt file without adding counter, everything is O.K. I can add counter to the new table after importing. H.
@hannis: Thanks for the tip - I have been struggling to find help with this. This was never an issue for me on 2000 and 2003 and my disappointment with 2007 grows by the day.
Sorry to rant but how did MS regress from the fantastic Office 2003 to the tragic Office 2007?!

If you are looking for opinon on what's useful in Access 2007, there's a new
article at:
http://allenbrowne.com/Access2007.html
Covers what's good (useful features), what's mixed (good and bad), what's
gone (features removed), what's fixed (old issues solved), what's broken
(new bugs), configuration, compatibility, should you buy, and links.
It is opinion, so you may disagree, but hopefully it's an informative
summary.

In Access 2007, I have successfully imported a text file with fixed width
fields. However the import did not correctly interpret a date. In the text
file the date field had no delimiter, was just MMDDYYYY. This column
appears empty in my table.
It doesn't seem like this is a hard thing to do. Any suggestions?

Hi.
I have been running an access Database in Office 2003 for a while now. When I upgraded to Office 2007 one of my macro buttons has stopped working.
The Button looks up to VBA code to Import a specific Excel spread sheet from a specific location on my hard drive. This file is updated but never re-named or moved so to save time I have created the import macro to do the import steps for me.
This has been working fine for me in Office...
