My Project includes a table that holds pathnames and one of those happens to look like "...db\test...".

When exporting this the backslash rightly gets escaped to a double backslash. But when importing the data back in the unescaping breaks it by reading the remaining "\t" as a tab and converting that.

I have added a very slightly cleverer unescape routine to my copy which fixes the problem for me.

Find attached VCS_Table.bas which calls VCS_EscapeString and VCS_UnescapeString respectively instead of the simple string replacement. And VCS_IE_Functions.bas which implements the pair near the bottom.

VBA is not my first language, so I do not claim any nice properties of this implementation other than that it works for me.

Thank you very much for your work, it has made developing with MS-Access much more bearable for me :-).
