Hi,

Hope somebody can help here! I am getting a Win NT server to pipe a directory listing to a text file. Then I get either a Win 98 or Windows ME machine to import this file into a table (using a filespec that only grabs the file name). What is odd is that some of the entries in the text file are not imported into the table.

For instance, I have a directory listing of 12,286 files, but only 12,089 show up in the table. The other strange thing is that when I use Word to view the text file that Win NT piped, I get asked to choose the encoding to use for the file, with a selection of Unicode (UTF-8) highlighted for me.

Any ideas anybody?
