I've got a simple fixed width text file, with several fields are certain fixed locations (allegedly). I'm trying to ascertain where either I'm making a mistake importing the fields into an existing layout or perhaps the programmer creating the data stream has an inaccuracy in his layout to me. It'd be great help if I could see where the heck I am horizontally in the row. I turned on the Show text line/column position option ON in the Tools/Options/IDE tab, but that seems worthless. I thought someone else here had encountered a similar frustration?
What trick/option do I need to set to get the actual column position to show in the status bar at the bottom of the screen for this text file? ugh...tia! --Michael -- Michael J.
