How are you exporting/importing?

You could create the table structure first and then just transfer the data. SPT or ADO could work for this, although with ADO you would have to replace invalid characters (like spaces) with something else. SPT does it for you. Heck, with SPT you can COPY TO myTable DATABASE myDB if you don't have any weird fields in your MDB.

The other restriction is that you need to put the tables in a DBC, since free tables have a 10 character max on field names.
