I am a relatively new user of access, and have received a
very large data file (1GB) in a ".lst" format.

This is a text file that is too large to open with excel
or wordpad, but is organized in columns and rows. I can't
seem to import it into Access 2002 (the format is
unrecognized).

Any ideas on how I can get around this? Would I need to
convert the .lst file to some other type (understanding
the difficulty of working with this 1GB file on a personal
computer)?

Thanks in advance for the help!
 
ACCESS won't import text files with "wrong" extensions. Did you try changing
the extension to .txt?
