I am trying to import a fixed length text file. It has two fields. The first is 4 characters, the second is the rest of the row, which may be several hundred characters. The problem is the DTS text import utility. It generates a red line (column seperator) at the 64 character mark. This causes the second field to wrap. I can not move this line, or delete it.<br />
Any idea what I am doing wrong?<br />
