How to determine the source columns in a linked Access Table -


i have linked table in ms access 2010 database. table importing 9 columns text file contains approx. 150 columns.

- there anyway modify linked table , change 1 column keep rest?

my research on web far has indicated not possible. wanted ask question here verify. seemingly problem many users encounter, there must intelligent solution problem, or @ least decent workaround.

- should answer first question "no", there @ least way determine columns being pulled source file?

update: suggested in comments including design view description property of table. unfortunately provides file source.

text;dsn=olsdrdp_offerttool link specification2;fmt=delimited;hdr=no;imex=2;characterset=1252;accdb=yes;database=w:\ftp\its150\07_model_pfos;table=olsdrdp_offerttool#csv 

actually provides lot more. :)
in access navigation options (the f11 sidebar), enable system objects.
there tables msysimexspecs , msysimexcolumns. (imex = import export)

imex=2 should mean specid 2 used linked table, dsn=olsdrdp_offerttool link specification2 specname.

if filter msysimexcolumns specid=2, should see imported columns.

you can start text import wizard csv file:

enter image description here

and via "extended" button ("erweitert" in german) load import specification "olsdrdp_offerttool link specification2".

to change linked table (i.e. create new linked table), complete import wizard, creating new import specification @ end.
