Import Specification Window

[lewis]

The window that lists the import specifications for a
database shows only about the first 20-30 characters of
the names. Is there a way to widen that so most or all of
the specification names are visible?

Thanks.

Hi, Lewis.

The width of the list box on this form is built into the Import Wizard,
which is an MDE database file. MDE database files are very difficult to
modify. However, the flexibility of Microsoft Access allows you to write
your own custom Wizard Add-ins to replace any of the built-in Wizards with
ones that suit your particular needs.

If building an entire Add-in is "overkill," then you could hire a consultant
who specializes in altering/converting MDE files to customize this Wizard
for your computer. But to be honest, altering this particular form in this
Wizard is _not_ cost effective, because this form is five layers deep within
the Add-in framework.

So the easy solution is to just use shorter names when creating
specifications.

HTH.

No.
You could use shorter names.
