VB:
------------------------------
datRaw.DatabaseName = "C:\Data" 'the directory of the db file .txt
datRaw.RecordSource = "Rawdata.txt" 'the db file

------------------------------


the error 3170 occur when execute the line 'datRaw.Refresh'.

Hi
If you do a google search using "Error 3170 - Couldn't find installable ISAM" (including quotes) there are a number (54) of possible solutions. I don't understand any of them, really, so you'll have to wade thru them!

Something about possible missing odbc dll and win2k?

Good luck!

If a man says something and there are no women there to hear him, is he still wrong?

I think Excel was not installed on that PC with the option to import/export Text files. Check to see whether you can do a File/Save As on that PC and save to text, and then see whether it allows you to open a text file. If not, install this option.
