It's a minor extra step, but still, I'm curious.       >       >              One other thought... some programs that create text files put an       end-of-file marker (non-visible) after the last CR/LF. My experience is       that Paradox doesn't like it. I suspect that when you copy/paste you       are not bringing along that EOF byte. Try deleting it with a hex editor       or even using the backspace key after opening the file in Notepad. Then       re-save and re-import.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
