Importing data
Hi all
I have a text file which I receive monthly and have to import to an Access database. The file has ; as field separators and each record is on one line. There are lots of errors in the file though (100s), where a user has pressed carriage return before the end field marker which knocks the data out of alignment and causes import problems. Is there any easier method then going through this file manually in notepad to tidy it up? Using word allows find and replace etc but in my experience it tends to cause additional problems to the data sometimes. Any suggestions? Thanks... |
