Possible bug with Access 2003

Hi
I have noticed a possible bug with Access 2003. If you
want to link to a text file, wizard will let you to
change the field name and the data type for only the
first field. You can modify the other fields by going to
the "Advanced" option and changing from there but you can
not do this through selecting the fields. (Previous
versions were OK)

That's a known bug for importing Excel files, but I haven't heard of it for
Text files before. The Excel fix was in an Access Hotfix that's included in
the Office 2003 Service Pack 1 that was released yesterday.
