unable to link .txt file in access 2003

Hi,

I am unable to link a .txt file in to access 2003. It gives error File does not contain data.

File size is 2.7 GB and it is pipe(|) seprated file.

Be sure your IMPORT SPEC also is set to read Pipe. (it defaults to comma)

I am getting this error on selecting the file...I think it because of file size (>2GB)

ONLY if the access file > 2Gig, but it would take LOTS of records.
Even if the txt file is 2Gig, access size can be less. Make sure you start with a compressed access db.

It i a newly created compressed access......also I am able link other text files in the same db

still waiting fot reply
