I would like to import multiple files into a DB through a macro. What is the command to import a file via a macro including calling the location / spec and destination?

Thanks

Dimonet,
[tt]DoCmd.TransferText(acImportDelim, [SpecificationName], [TableName], [FileName])[/tt] sounds about right.

Hope this helps,
