>In one of my applications, we need to import a fixed width flat text file with lines that are longer than the 254 characters. The import wizard will allow me to import the data into each field, but I can't seem to duplicate this using the append command for data in the file that occurs after position 254.

It should work fine - do you have TYPE SDF in the Append From?
