Thanks for your advise.

One other question, is it true that the a hard "return" or "linefeed" count as one record. If so, how can I append a text file which contains one record and each field is seperated by a hard return (one record per text file but seperated by a hard return for each field.) Or there's no solution to delimited by a hard return??
