: : Having a problem with the Generic Import. I made several modifications to the pull down default formats in an attempt to import some non-standard data. I didn't realize that each modification was replacing another of the default input formats. I put the correct format (for AOL comma delimited) back in and it wouldn't import. Message was "The specified input format did not match any lines in the imported file". I cut and pasted the correct format from a help file to be sure I did not err. Did not import. An identical appearing format on the same file transferred to my notebook imports fine. What did I manage to corrupt? Thanks.

: Hi Michael,
:
: Why don't you post the format string and a sample line from the file you're
: trying to import, I can then help more specifically.

: Thanks,
: Mark

: I put in !Rem instead of !REM. Changed that and all is well. Thanks for
