I would like to programmatically import one by one all the text files in a given directory - usually around 30 files. I've used code that I copied from http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm to allow the user to browse through windows directories and select a single file to process...but now I want to process ALL the files in a given directory, regardless of the number of files. I assumed I would build an array with the names of all the files and then loop through that array in my code to import and process them one by one. Does anyone know of code I could utilize that would allow me to identifity the names of all the txt files in a selected directory? I'm lost when it comes to interfacing Access with Windows in this way!
