MS Access 2002- Problem importing File

Hello,

I am trying to import a fairly large text file, fixed delimited. I am getting an error: “One or more rows of data in your file contain too many characters to import.” Strange thing is, everything looks correct, and it imports fine with Access 97. I am confident it is an Access 2002 issue… I searched this error on the web and ran the Microsoft utility for correcting the Null gaps but this is not a satisfactory fix. Any ideas why I am getting this error? And any possible solutions? Thanks in advance…
