Importing a binary file

H

Hilo Hattie

Does anyone know how to import a binary file? It appears
to be one long line of data, and the best I can figure out
is the length of each field, but I don't know how to tell
Access when a new record starts. Any help would be
appreciated.

This cannot be done by default or through a wizard.
You need detailed data on the structure of the file and then you need to
write a lot of code.
It is not trivial.

Can you have it converted to a Text file instead of Binary?
Then you can use the wizard to import it.
