You will love this one.

Place the following text into a text file and run a transfer text on it:

R4inc quarter,20083,,,,,,
NDC,Drug Name,Rebate Amt Due,#Rx,State Paid,Quantity,Formula,Unit Price

DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim , , "RawFormat", "YourPath\YourName.csv"

the following is what I get:

PK	F1	F2	F3	F4	F5	F6	F7	F8	F9	F10	F11	F12
26361	R4inc quarter	20083										
26362	NDC		Rebate Amt Due	#Rx	State Paid	Quantity	Formula	Unit Price				
Notice that the "Drug Name" data item in the second row dropped out.

Now, try this one:

R4inc quarter,20083,,,,,,
NDC,Drug Name,Rebate Amt Due,#Rx,State Paid,Quantity,Formula,Unit Price
597001314,COMBIVENT AER,0,5,513.01,73.5,2:    7.66735 - 3.1734 - 4.6244,0



The following is what I get.

F1	F2	F3	F4	F5	F6	F7	F8	F9	F10	F11	F12
R4inc quarter	20083										
NDC	Drug Name					Formula					
597001314	COMBIVENT AER	0	5	513.01	73.5	2:    7.66735 - 3.1734 - 4.6244	0				
Notice the dropping of TONS of data items in the "field names" row.

But hey, why fix the bugs in Access when there are pretty toolbars that need designing eh?
