[AccessD] Automating Excel imports

I agree,  

Yesterday I  had to show a potential client how simple it was to generate a "pipe"  delimited 
file from their off the shelf inventory software.

They frequently create Excel spreadsheets from the same system, but didn't know how to 
export the data as plain text.   

But Darrell said "I created the template that way".  So he gave them the spreadsheet to use 
for data entry.  :-)
