Table link to tab delimited text file

I have a text file with field contents as illustrated
below:

[Tab] 5X33 FG1

There is a space between the delimiter & the 5X33. When
linking to the file, Access reads the tab delimiter, but
omits the white space before the first character. I need
to retain the preceeding whitespace in order to retain the
true field length & character positions within the field.
How can I accomplish that?
