Are you importing them all into the same table? You could do it using
code, using the Dir() function to loop through the files in a folder and
call DoCmd.TransferText for each one. Or you may be able to use the
Copy command in a Command Prompt window to concatenate all the files
into one big text file, and then manually import that file.
