You could import it into a single table and then run Queries to create
or append to the other tables. That is, provided the total size doesn't
exceed Access 2000's limit of 2GB per database. You can, of course, use
tables in related database so that the limit really applies only to the
size of a single table plus the necessary overhead for a one-table
database.

Without more information, I can't be more specific, but I'd presume
that the multiple tables into which you want to put the information are
related by some common information.

You could, of course, open the file as a sequential file, open all the
pertinent Access tables, read it record by record, and append the
information to appropriate Access tables as you go along. But, it seems
to me there'll be a higher probablity of someting going awry while your
update is in progress if you take this approach.
