I am trying to import a file, but unfortunately it is not accepting the normal Row Delimiter (it's a text file). I've tried the '{CR}{LF}' and 'VBCRLF' and '\n' and every other option in the drop down menu...Does anyone have any other suggestions of ones to try?

If the file came from a Unix/Linux system, it is probably using a Unix line terminator (\r or {LF}, SQL function CHAR(10)) If you're using DTS to do the import it will have an option to use {LF} only as a row terminator.
