which fine , easy read when try import txt file access never goes though access created it!:

enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here

i tried use | delimiter resulted in odd table layout (notably --------- being in first column , others still not having header names , all. enter image description here enter image description here

after going through a lot of configurations comes out looking this: enter image description here

or other type of formatting looks terrible.

although not big deal since there other formats export/import (namely 1 use - excel) coworker , find out if it's @ possible import txt formatted file version since access offers option... , seem use should work others do.
