I ha a strange problem.

 I download a list of phone numbers from the state of Texas for a DO Not Call. 
The file comes is a .txt format tab delimited, so I use the open method 
"File----Open" and have it open the file.  MS Access 2003 goes through the 
steps to import the file to a access table but a good portion of the file is 
lost in the conversion.  

Area Code      Phone Number      Date

XXX            xxxxxxxxxx        xx/xx/xxxx

I get the first 1400 complete information but after that it drops off the phone 
number field only.


Area Code      Phone Number        Date
210            210XXXXXXX          XX/XX/XXXX
512                  #NUM!         XX/XX/XXXX

is there a limit to the number of records that can be imported to a database or 
is it something else.

The fileds are labled in access as

Filed1       Field2       Field3
Text         Number       Date/Time



I checked the original Txt file and all the entries have the correct 
information.  the total textfile has over 11 Milion entries.
