    Unhappy Importing a text file to access

    K this is to keep track of my inventory on parts for rc cars.

    The file started out as a pdf file converted to a text file
    Now I want ot import the text file in colums.



    Not sure how to do it.

    The file contains parts #, description, qty and price

    I've included the txt file that i'm trying to use, not even sure if i'm going
    about this the right way.

    I might even have to vb a script to read into an array.

    This is so i don't have to type in all the info I can just read the file
    minupilate it to my likeings.

    In advance thanks for the help or info

    Access is a whiz at imports and data conversion.
    Just use the External Data, Import feature in Access 2007. It's simple to use the wizards.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
