PRB: Cannot Import ASCII Text into Catalog ManagerID: Q120471 2.60 2.60a | 2.60 2.60a | 2.60a WINDOWS | MS-DOS | MACINTOSH kbother kbprb The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen you choose Import from the Data menu in Catalog Manager, there isn't a choice of ASCII text in the File Type list box. STATUSThis behavior is by design. MORE INFORMATIONChoosing Import from the Data menu is equivalent to calling the IMPORT command, which creates a new FoxPro table from the data being imported. The IMPORT command does not support ASCII text. NOTE: The APPEND FROM command does support ASCII text. However, it must append data to an open FoxPro table, whereas the IMPORT command creates a new FoxPro table programmatically. When you are using the FoxPro menu system and Command window instead of Catalog Manager, the APPEND FROM command is located under the Database menu.
