Welcome to the bytes forum!

Would you please review your question and provide more detail as to what it is you're having issues with?

We'd also like to see any code that you may have already attempted; however, please remember to enclose the code within the [code] [/code] code tags.

Without any further information as to the structure of the file you're trying to import all I can offer is the following:

Before you re-post your question, would you take a few moments to review the following:

This is a must read!!! Posting Guidelines

How to ask good questions

FAQ

Some other generally helpful links:

I’ve found that all too often the textbooks really do a very poor presentation of the actual steps behind setting up a database from scratch. However, I have found a really good step by step tutorial for basic design here:

A Tutorial for Access

Although this may sound a tad late for your current project, this tutorial may yet give you some insight to any issues you may run into with your project in the near term and should help you with any future projects.

Of particular note is >> tables <<page within the tutorial - notice the information that is given, the table name, the field name, the field type, key or index, etc... AND the format used to present that data.

When you post back, this is the type of information we'll need to help you along in your project. You don't need a fancy grid table to do this... just a line by line layout.

One of the hardest concepts for most people to understand is that of "normalization. " I found this link to have a really good really good explanation of the concept for those just starting out and I found it to be a good review when I read thru it:

Database Normalization and Table Structures.

Looking forward to helping you with your project...

Then start with the two links provided to MS in my post.
If those links do not help you develop a starting code, then we will need to understand what information is in the text file and how it is structured.

Notepad produces the simplest of all Text Files, the contents of which can easily be extracted and analyzed by any number of Methods. The following Code will Read each Line of a File produced by Notepad, Parse the contents of each Line, then Write the Results to the Immediate Window.

Const conPATH_TO_FILE As String = "D:\Test.txt"
Dim strLine As String
Dim varLineContents As Variant
Dim intCtr As Integer

Open conPATH_TO_FILE For Input As #1        'Open file.

Do While Not EOF(1)                         'Loop until end of file.
  Line Input #1, strLine                    'Read line into variable.
    varLineContents = Split(strLine, " ")   'Parse Line contents using a Space
                                            'as the Delimiter
    For intCtr = LBound(varLineContents) To UBound(varLineContents)
      Debug.Print varLineContents(intCtr),
    Next
      Debug.Print vbCrLf
Loop

Close #1    ' Close file.

1. The File D:\Test.txt:
   

   SHE SELLS SEA SHELLS AT THE SEA SHORE
   Hello World
   Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder

2. OUTPUT to the Immediate Window:
   

   SHE           SELLS         SEA           SHELLS        AT            THE           SEA           SHORE         
   
   Hello         World         
   
   Beauty        is            in            the           eyes           of            the           beholder

Prasad;

As I have indicated in another thread that you started, You usually will not get a completed code provided to you unless you have posted what you have already tried.

This is a basic I/O homework style question asked in every Computer Science class I've ever taken... from highschool thru college.

Please post the work you already have undertaken or avail yourself of the information I and ADezii have proveded.

Use the external data emport from the ribbon
Use the transfer method
Open a file for input using the standard BASIC i/o commands

@ADezii: code work exactly as described in the post in my test database... :) )
