[AccessD] TransferText wierdness

Nope, never had to handle any of those.

I have been doing bank transfer stuff for many years and never see it there.  Lots of mainframe 
exports, insurance stuff etc.  Names, addresses, financial data, medical data and so forth.

I guess I would ask for what works for the data I get, and the data I get NEVER has pipes.  If it 
ever does I'll ask for something else.
