Here's and idea:

1. Create a temporary table for importing the data with two fields:
fldDescription and fldData. Use the import text wizard to create an
import spec and save it. The import spec could use colons (":") and
tabs as field separaters, depending on how the data is presented in the
text file.

2. Use docmd to transfer text into the temp table and specify the
import spec you saved.

3. Each new line will create a new record in tblTemp with
Contact_XXXXXX as the fldDescription and the fldData as data

4. open a recordset on the temp table and loop through the records,
adding the data to the appropriate field in your actual data table.

5. Delete * from tmpTable when done.
