I have .txt file that is converted from a word file about 40 pages long that I need to import into an Access table but is too complex for the wizard. This is a repetitive process occurring twice monthly.

1. I need to skip the header (first 10 lines).

2. Get the next line as the header field. (18 columns separated by a space)

3. Import the records (18 columns separated by a space)

4. Skip the footer (number of lines vary).

5. Repeat the process over and over until I reach the end of the .txt file.


Can any one assist with a code sample or db sample?
