Access - Link to a BASIC DOS file

[Enrico Di Cesare]

Hi all,

Access 2000 allows me to link an external text file generated with Basic
PDS 7 (DOS, aka Random file), using a fixed format.

Unfortunately, all numbers (stored in IEEE format) are unreadable. When Access
finds a CHR$(13) or CHR$(10) - they both may be into a number -, it interpretes
the char as a new line begin.

Any suggestion?

TIA
