There's more than one way to skin a cat but I might attack it like this (if I understand what you are trying to do correctly):

Open the text file in Excel - parse out the field to another column removing the = ...

Copy and paste special - transpose to another spreadsheet - Row 1. From Access import the resulting spreadsheet and check first row is header. Your field names will be the top row.

To parse out you would use something like: =LEFT(A1,FIND("=",A1)-1)

Copy the formula down all rows. Copy the entire worksheet and past special - Values.
