Import Error

When I try to import a tab-delimited text file, I get the following error..."An unexpected error occurred which should be reported to ODB's developers. The error message was 'Import: syntax error in string expression'.

My new e-mail isn't yet set up to be able to automatically send the message that the software wishes.....

When I hit cancel and continue with the import I eventually get another error which states....."Import: the field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data."

But, there is no mention of which field to which it is referring.
