hi

well i have this problem with Paradox3.

i have been importing ascii files into paradox for a while but recently when 
i was importing some files i found that some of the records were missing. 
i checked the ascii file and found nothing amiss it just seemed to have decided
that it had enough and stopped before the end of the file. i deleted the table
and tried again, same result but stopped on a different record. i then cut the
missing records out to another file and successfully appended them to the table.
the file is about 1 meg which is well within the documented limit for paradox.

i use a virtual disk (on a Vax) which is accessed via Digital PCSA network 
software so i thought maybe this could be a problem but it did the same thing 
when i moved the ascii file to my hard disk.

has anyone come across this problem before? any suggestions appreciated

ta muchly
