Default import fixed width text file

The import specification works as intended when used manually (via FileGet
External Data....). But when the spec is used within a Routine the data
imports into one column only. I think the error is in the syntax of
TransferText.

DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "Tagged Transactions Import
Specification", _
"RawDataImport", TextFile2Open

The Help file says "...For a fixed-width text file, you must either specify
an argument or ... " in relation to the specification. Any help much
appreciated.
