How much data do you have? If the text file is not that large you can separate the fields with some delimiter such as a comma. Then import the comma separated values (.csv) file into access.
If the text file is very large - grab a cold drink, put on some tunes, and have at it.
Its not that easy. There are several fields in the database that are not in the export data.
Also, there are some Indexes for the dives and dive profile data that need to be set up
properly. To make it more complicated, the format of the export file has a variable number of fields
on each row/line in the file. This makes importing really tough.
It can be done but its not as simple as importing the data.
Lots of manual massaging will be involved.
If you still have the crashed disk and can access the file system on it, the files you want
are in the \Program Files\AERIS\Aeris Computer Interface 2.x\Logs
The .dlg files are the dive logs.
One thing that is really easy to do if all else fails is to re download the dives that are still in
the dive computer. Depending on your bottom time and profiles you could get up to the last
24 dives you made.
