Helmut/Mortiz,
Yes, I realized that the header needed to be removed and I could change the
column names in the database. Removing the header made no difference.
I changed the separator from ',' to '|', but what I think made the
difference is that I noticed the data files were in DOS mode; \l\f rather
than Unix mode, \n. I ran both files through dos2unix and the GUI imported
them with no issues. I keep forgetting that in the US all government
agencies use only Microsoft software and all text files need to have their
line terminators changed.
