<div>Thanks for the prompt reply.</div>
<div>I already had "file" implemented in the path (just
omitted it in my posting). The text file (both in Word and plain text)
shows tabs, but instead of being placed in a fixed place, the tabs all
seem to just introduce a certain number of spaces where the tab stops
are, but since the text in each column varies, the original columns in
the fields are not maintained. Other clues?</div>
