[AccessD] changing to A2K: error in import

This is Microsoft being helpful, I have forgotten the exact reason. The 
behaviour may have been switched back with the latest Jet release
However in the meantime just use the Name As statement before and after 
you call the macro to rename the file or put in a function called from 
macro.
You will get an error if file doesn't exist or is open.

Name  "C:\MyDir\MyDir2\file.gyn" As "C:\MyDir\MyDir2\file.txt"

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).
