- I've recently started moving ASCII delimited files into Paradox 4.0. I have
- many different files that I need to get into Paradox. Now the Import/ASCII
- Delimited option works great except that the field names are "Field-1",
- "Field-2", ...etc., Is there a way to get Paradox to interpret the first
- row in the ASCII file to be the field name? Even better if I could specify
- it's type as well.
-
- Other alternatives welcome. I would prefer *not* to define the tables in
- Paradox in advance, and then append, since some of the tables field
- number/types may still change.
-
- Please e-mail. I'll summarize.
-
- Thanks,
- Brian
