I am getting error message #8 - Error importing file,
not a tab-separated file. The problem is the file is tab-
separated and was created with FileReplaceEx to create the
tabs. What else could be the problem?

Does it have .TXT extension?

No, it doesn't. I was trying to use Filerename, but getting
another error. Does filerename support wildcards?

No, it currently doesn't support wildcards. To load multiple files using wildcards use DirEx with a LoopWhile and DatabaseImport in it. Please note that files must have .TXT extensions, this is how they are recognized as tab-separated files. DatabaseImport currently supports .TXT and .DBF files. Future versions of DatabaseImport will support CSV, XLS and some other file types. File extension is and will be used as a standard way to determine file type.

I ConCat the filename so I didn't have to use wildcards, and
FileRename worked. Now I get an error message, "User cancelled the
import when I try to execute DatabaseImport.

In most cases this error is a result of failed data validation. For instance, if in a date-type column you have invalid date or spaces or "N/A" instead or a valid date value (or just nothing which is treated as NULL) it would lead to the described error. Other common causes are: text in a character-type column exceeds column size; problem with number conversion if you have hundreds or thousands separators. Numbers can have decimal separator only.
