   There are going to be a bunch of files a few times a week throughout years   
   not one time shot to communicate data among companies. So it should be   
   automated not interactive at all.   
   Could you send the script to carlogawa@verizon.net   
   Thank you.

   | I have a small script which works in Paradox 5/10 windows which allows you   
   | to import comma or other delimited records.  The fields in the result   
   table   
   | are ASCII.  It used to be on the thedbcommunity.com as a download, but I   
   | can't seem to get there.  It allows you to use the first record,  if   
   | desired, as field names.   
   |   
   | Steve may have answered your needs.   If there are many files with ASCII   
   | fields,  the script can eliminate the need for editing.  I can email the   
   | script to you if it will be helpful.
