hi guys, id like to ask how can i do this: 1. the text file should be uploaded by the user (is there any codes you can provide) 2. i have a text files that is not comma-delimited, only fixed width. though basically i just need 2 - 3 fields to be imported to the database. (the reason why i need this because of the nature of legacy database we're using... btrieve, that's why i just rely to text files being generated) here's the sample data: XXXXX 1004567 I09890990 DELACRUZ, JUAN 01/09/06 XXXXX 1004568 I09890980 DELACRUZ, ROSA 01/09/06 XXXXX 1004569 I09890990 DELACRUZ, MALOU 01/09/06 XXXXX 1004575 I09890990 DELACRUZ, MARIAN 01/09/06
