Importing a ".Dat" file

[John]

I have a customer.dat file from an Informix system.
Microsoft was kind enough to provide a location in the
knowledge base that is somewhat related, but the links of
the solution are not helpful or irrelavant.

The link states on how to link to an Informix system.

I just want to import it into the database.

Any suggestions?

Hi John,

In order to import the data you need to connect to the Informix database
using the techniques described in the linked articles. Once that's done
you can create a new table in your database and use an append query to
add the Informix data.
