You have really written everything clearly, and in a step-by-step fashion. But I must say that it becomes quite a technical matter! Is it the case that other users also go through such a maze of steps to import a table from MSA into Base? I just can't believe that your average, normal computer user could follow such a series of complex operations to get their table imported. I will try it, and see how it goes.
The fact is that most of our tables are not at all large or complex. The table I have been trying to import the last 2-3 days has around 15 columns and 40 rows. That's it. And we have several other similarly small tables as well. But then there is one we have that is quite large-- although well within the parameters you stated in your directions. I want to practice with the smaller tables first, and then when I know what I'm doing, I'll do that one as well. But tell me: isn't there an easier way? (That is, a way that works?) Or are improvements in the works which will make importing a table easy? The public will never go for the series of instructions you've given me. It is things like this I think which create huge obstacles for the general public. But as for your instructions, I am deeply appreciative and will try it this afternoon and let you know how it goes.
