I'm interested in opening a text file, parsing it, then taking the pieces and inserting them into an Access document (creating one on the fly, or precreating one and then editing it, either/or is fine).

I've gone through a bit of the documentation, however, my experience with VB is not the greatest (Mostly I've used C++), and this is the first time I've attempted to use VB .NET (although again, I have used C++). If it's important, I'm using the VB At the Movies gift version, although I don't think that has any effect upon it.

What I know so far: I can use the toolbox to add a COM object to my project, using this I can (presumably) fiddle with with documents of the office product's controls that I include as part of the insertion.

What I don't: How to declare / access instances of whatever is in the COM object, or even how to find out what's in it. With the dependancy viewer I see a lot of Ordinals, but that's not very helpful.

Thanks for any help.
