As far as the Help getting the files into Access I have been manually converting them to .txt files and importing them into Access tables. If there is an easier way I haven't got there yet. As far as the "not changed...", I was trying to convey that the raw data has fixed field lengths and the changing of the data will be done to fit wihthin the field.

I am currently trying the suggestions you gave me now, I just haven't put it all together yet.
Although another ? comes to mind when I parse and make seperate files they come out like "tmp_060". Is there a way within the script to set a name for each?

Thank you
