I am trying to import a text file and for some reason I can not get my date field called "Due" to covert to from a text to date format 7/01/07

Hi,
I'm not sure if an import specification can grab that date format. You might be better of importing it as a text field and then using a UDF to run with an update query to construct the actual date values. In the UDF you can use the DateSerial() function and a select case statement to construct what you need e.g.:

Public Function ConvertDates(strDate As String) As Date

Dim strMonth As String
Dim monthInt As Integer

If strDate <> "" Then

strMonth = Mid(strDate,3,3)

Select Case strMonth
Case "JAN"
monthInt = 1
Case "FEB"
monthInt = 2
Case "MAR"
monthInt = 3
Case "APR"
monthInt = 4
Case "MAY"
monthInt = 5
...'all other months
Case Else
monthInt = 0
End Select

ConvertDates = DateSerial(Right(strDate,4),monthInt,Left(strDate,2))

End If

End Function

This is just a quick untested sample but should get you started.

Good luck
