[AccessD] changing to A2K: error in import

Hello grooup,

i have a database in A97 that works fine. I am converting this database to A2k and i get an error when importing a file. The import is done with a macro with the TransferText action. I use for this an Import spec on a filename that has an extension ".gyn". The text in this file is normal textfile in columns. When using this macro i get an error: Cannot update. Database or object is read-only. I double checked, nothing is read only. In A97 this works fine. In A2k it only works when changing the extension to ".txt" (the file and the FileName in the macro).

How is this possible?
I don't want to change the extensions of the filenames to ".txt., because these extensions helps me to keep files separated for different macro's and different actions.
