Jacques, What I do is to import the fixed length file into Access, and then immediately export out as a comma delimited text file.
Its an OK process if I only have a few files to do, but wouldn't want to do it for a large number of files! Of course, you then have to delete the index column that Access assigns to a table, but I include that as part of processes in MapInfo when I then save the file to a native MapInfo table.
