Stupid text formats!  Everybody loves stupid text formats!  Right?

What, you don't?  Well, Microsoft sure does:

From http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access/HA100069051033.aspx
> Formatted files
> 
> In a formatted file, hyphens (-) and pipe characters (|) are used to organize
> the content in a grid. The records appear as rows, and fields appear as
> columns. The field names appear in the first row.

> You only have the option of creating a formatted file when you choose to
> export the data in a table, query, form, or report along with the formatting.
> A formatted file includes only those records and fields that are included in
> the source object or displayed in the current view. Hidden columns and
> filtered rows are not exported.
