[AccessD] Recordset into Text File

A specification name is a name you can give to a 'pre-built' or saved
specification.  When you import a file through the wizard, in the last step
or two, there is an Advanced button.  That button will let you Save an
import/export spec, by name.  That is what the macro is asking for.  If you
leave it blank, it will use default settings.  If you give it a name, it
will use that spec to import the file.  The spec tells it what columns to
import, the delimiter, etc.
 
Just a note, when you import objects into a database, one of the options is
to import import/export specs....keep that in mind if you have to 'rebuild'
the database, those specs need to be imported too.

Hi All,
 
I'm trying to import a text file into Access and am a bit stumped by what is
required for a 'Specification Name'.  
 
I've looked at the macro dropdown list for this and it was empty.  (?)
 
Can anyone tell me what is required?
 
TIA
RyanS
