Import txt file macro

Hello,

I am currently using a transfer text macro to import a text file. This works
great if the name of the text file is always the same. Is there a similar
marco (or any other suggestion) that will allow me to choose the text file to
be imported? This text files always contain the same information, just
different names. I am currently using Access 2007.

Thanks for all your help.

You'll have to use some VBA code. The typical scenario is where you
respond to an "Import Text Bile" button click by opening a file/open
dialog (see http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm) and take the
return value (the file to be opened) and pass it to
DoCmd.TransferText.
