Bill and Lambert, Thanks for the help. You have answered my questions.

Just start a manual import as usual, select the import spec you want to modify, which does most of the hard work for you, and then make changes to it as needed. Finally save it with a different name with the 'Save As' button on the Import Specification dialog box.

Since they are tables I suppose you can modify them but probably not easy and you may not be able to write to system files. The name of export Specs is located in the XSpecs table and the ID assigned, then the column definitions and spacing are in the XColumns table by ID number. I think if you look at them you will be able to easily identify what is going on. The ability to show how to un hide them is cleverly hidden by right clicking on the top of the Navigation page and selecting Navigation options.

Once a specification is set up, is there a way to change the spec other than making believe that you are setting up a new spec? Also, is it possible to get at the spec with VBA code?
