Is there a way to write a script that will take text from a tabbed .txt file and create field names with the text. Or am I just being cheap and should buy a third party software

In general, field definitions are part of the structure of the database, and should not be changed by data. Why not just type in the field names?

File>Open, select .tab,.txt filter then specify your .txt file, it will ask you if you want to use the first row as field names. You can only do this for the first table in a file, in other words you will need a seperate file for each table that you want to import.

No, you're not being cheap.
