Urgent Help Pls : Can not update Import Specification in ACCESS 2000

Hello Experts,

Can you please help me out? I am very frustrated!

I am trying to update import specification, and it does not let me do
that. I have saved specification and now I need to add one extra
field at the end of the file (importing txt file). I open the saved
specification than add new name of the field and its specification, go
through the entire process, and at least it reconginse that I have
made changes to the spec, so prompts me to save it. I do save it;
however, when imported, it does not import the new field. When I go
back to check the saved specs. it has not updated.

Can you please help me out? I used to do this without any problem in
97.

Thanks in advance.

then go back, delete old spec, then rename new spec
