Import PRN files

David Roark · Dec 2, 2003

I was using Access 97 and had macros setup to import PRN
files. We updated to Access 2000 and I can no longer
import PRN files, is there a fix for this. I tried
looking in the knowledge base and didn't seem to find
anything there.

The only PRN files I've seen were really ASCII files
try renaming them as .txt

Actually, the only reason you were able to do it in Access 97 was because
you hadn't applied all of the service packs: this was first implemented in
Microsoft Jet 3.5 Service Pack 3.
