Default Edit Text Import

Seb,
My problem deals with column width of the text file. What is happening is
the last
letter in a column of text is being read into the adjacent column which is
numbers.
I want to change where the query is dividing the column input.

Hi,
-Right click the imported data and choose Data Range Properties from the
pop-up menu. A dilaog displays.
-There, uncheck Adjust Column Width.
-Save the file

Does that wor for you?
Regards,
Seb

I have a macro which imports a text file and then cleans up and formats the
file.
The first time I ran it, I used the editor and set up my columns. It worked
well except for a minor oversight in one column width. Now I'm trying to
changed that width, but whatever I do, the next time the macro imports the
data, the column width for that column is where I originally set it. I've
manually deleted the data and when asked if I wanted to save the query, I
told it no. It made no difference. What can I do?
