I have just created a simple MS Access DB. I tried to
import the data from an external text file into a table
but failed. The error message is "Cannot update.
Database or object is readonly". I closed the application
and retried the import function again. Same result
occurred. Does anyone have a clue on this ?

Any suggestion are highly appreciated.

regards,
Kevin
 
The input text file has an extension of dat. If I change
the file extention to txt, the import function works.
Does anyone know why MS Access 2000 does not like *.dat
files ?

regards,
Kevin
