I have an application that needs to be able to import ASCII files in various
formats ( fixed field width, comma-delimited, tab-delimited, etc.)  into a
database. The application would do some updating, adding records, deleting
records.  When the file is updated, it needs to be returned to the customer in
the same ASCII format.

Is there a way - using VB 5.0 - to do this?  

Presently I use Access97 and Excel combination as necessary.

H E L P ! ! !   :-)

Thanks.
