Hello Steven
I've just picked up my email "on the way out" and wont be back till Thursday
evening - hopefully by then somebody else will have fully answered your
question, but my quick suggestion (I'm a new user too ) would be - File ->
Import form ascii then in the pop-up window choose Use omega format. That
is working for me - my data format is the same as yours except the date
field is yyyymmdd.
Have a look at "Importing Datafrom an ascii file" in the HelpManual at "Data
Management" If there is still a difficulty I'll fix it :-) on Thursday
night.
Stick with it - it's a very good program
Regards
Fred Browne
