| Gary writes "I am consistantly given a .txt file with thousands of numbers. I use these numbers in a query, and have to go through each line inserting a comma after each number. As you can imagine, I don't necessarily 'dig' this process, and would like to refer to the txt file from within the query without having to modify the information. I've had some friends tell me how to do this through writing a seperate application, but can't this be done through using just a query?Gary Vickery" |
