Import Data from Excel, CSV, Fixed-Width Text

In this video, I will show you how to import data into Microsoft Access. We will see how to import Excel spreadsheets, CSV (Comma Separated Values) files, and fixed-width text files.

John from Coppell, Texas (a Developer Student) asks: I need to import a very large file that I received from a client. It's a fixed-width text file. How can I get that data into Microsoft Access?

Members

Members will learn how to use VBA, recordsets, and file I/O (Input/Output) to directly import a large text file, line by line. This is sometimes necessary for very large fixed-width text files that may be over 2 GB in size.
