I need to create an Access table and populate it with two fields from an rtf file. Any suggestions on an easy way to import in the rtf data.

I have loaded the file in Word, saved it as html, asci and copied and pasted into Excel all without success. Data drops off or doesn't convert fully when I try to get external data and import it in access.

Thanks for your help.

I imported the file into word then saved it as a text file
then used getdata and import and made sure the field was a text field and it worked. Cogito ergo sum - I think?
