Importing a text file

I am trying to import a text file into an existing table using the DTS
wizard. I am having trouble getting it to accept a couple of date fields. Is
there a date format that the wizard will accept? If not, how should I
import date fields?
Thanks,
Tim
Hi,
Before I comment anything, can you please copy and paste the data (10 rcords
will do)
in the date column inside the text file.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
The problem was that there were some records that did not have a date and
just had " / / ". I edited the file and replaced them with a dummy date and
it imported fine.
