Importing Text File

D

D VanD

I wrote a program in Visual FoxPro that reads in a text file. They are
looking at migrating the program to Access. The program looks for something
in a certain field grabs that information and then skips down a set number
of lines to grab the rest of the data. Here is a snippet of my FoxPro code

GO top
DO WHILE !EOF()
IF deml_exp.claim = " "
SKIP -4
copyclaim = DEML_EXP.claim
SKIP 7
replace DEML_EXP.claim with copyclaim
ENDIF
SKIP
ENDDO

My question is there an equivalent of SKIP in Access to move around a text
file.

Thanks in advance.
