Here is what I am trying in PERL
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;use warnings;

use Win32::OLE;

my $DBFile  = qw( W:\Glenn-123456\Test\DevComm1.mdb ); # 
#Choose appropriate version of Jet for your system
my $Jet = Win32::OLE->CreateObject('DAO.DBEngine.36')   or die "Can't 
+create Jet database engine.";
my  $DB = $Jet->OpenDatabase( $DBFile );

my $SQLquery = "SELECT * INTO [Input] FROM [Text;DATABASE=W:\Glenn-123
+456\Test\VDD\Data\;HDR=No].[DevComm1.txt]";
$DB->Execute($SQLquery, 128); #128=DBFailOnError

I get 4 error messages that says unrecognized escape /g /t /v /d at li
+ne 11
and one can't create jet database engine line 8

Trying again.
