Saved Import Access 2007

I have saved an import and it works great. I would like to be able to
start the saved import from a button on a switchboard. I tried using
TransferText and the saved import name but it does not recognize the
saved name as an import specification.

Thanks for any help

In some earlier versions of Access, if you save too early in a manual import
process, the Import-Export Spect may not reflect all (or any) of the changes
you made. Try importing, creating the specification, and saving at the very
end of the import process. As I am not in a position to test in Access
2007, it would be helpful if you would post your results back to this
message thread.

I went looking for the MSysIMEXSpecs table to verify that the import
spec was saved. Was not able to find it.

I went looking for the MSysIMEXSpecs table to verify that the import
spec was saved. Was not able to find it.
Found System tables
Office button, Access Options, Current Database, Navigation Options,
Show System Objects

Import Name saved was different than what was showing in the Saved
Import tab in External Data.
