    Saved Import Access 2007

    I have saved an import and it works great. I would like to be able to
    start the saved import from a button on a switchboard. I tried using
    TransferText and the saved import name but it does not recognize the
    saved name as an import specification.

    Thanks for any help

    Re: Saved Import Access 2007

    In some earlier versions of Access, if you save too early in a manual import
    process, the Import-Export Spect may not reflect all (or any) of the changes
    you made. Try importing, creating the specification, and saving at the very
    end of the import process. As I am not in a position to test in Access
    2007, it would be helpful if you would post your results back to this
    message thread.

        I went looking for the MSysIMEXSpecs table to verify that the import
        spec was saved. Was not able to find it.

          I went looking for the MSysIMEXSpecs table to verify that the import
          spec was saved. Was not able to find it.
          Found System tables
          Office button, Access Options, Current Database, Navigation Options,
          Show System Objects

          Import Name saved was different than what was showing in the Saved
          Import tab in External Data.
