Import Specification changes

Can I alter or delete an import specification without actually doing an
import of data into the database. Can it be done in code?

You can run the wizard, hit advanced, load and save the spec -- and never
would you have to import anything.

It is vaguely possible to do it in code, but the two MsysIMEX* tables are
not documented.

Please ignore the above posting and others which are somewhat bizarre.

I have an add-in that allows you to read/modify the import
specifications. It is at this URL:

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

Read the included README.txt file to find out how to install the add
in.

The add-in was created in Access97 so if you want to run it in
Acc2000, or greater, you will have to convert it before you add it to
the Add-in Manager.
