Import tilde (~) .txt file into Access Using Import Wizard
Import tilde (~) .txt file into Access Using Import Wizard
(OP)
I am trying to import a text file into Access and the only delimiter is the ~ symbol. I am using version 2010. In the wizard I can put the ~ in for a text separator but not for a field separator. I know that I have done this in the past because I ave received the same file format from the same source and managed to get it imported but now I can't seem to get it to work. Anyone know how to do this? I really don't want to have to open the file in Excel or do any other type of pre-processing because I am writing the application for someone else and don't want to complicate it.

The Wizard screen gives me 3 variables to set
First Row Contains Field Names (Y/N)
Choose the delimiter that separates your fields:
Tab/Semicolon/Comma/Space/Other
Text Qualifier ("/'/{none})
The "Other" option under fields appears to allow a person to enter a symbol here but won't let me enter the ~ character.
