I'm using Notepad to look at the file and don't think it has that limitation, but also I can tell when I use APPEND FROM to import the data, not all the fields in the table are being filled with data that I know is in the original file. I am pretty sure it is a limit of the program being used to generate the txt file. I am trying to get in touch with the writers of that program.
