Etc... When you create the DSN a schema.ini will be created automatically for you. Uncheck "Use Current Directory" and select the directory your csv file is in. Then click Options/Define Format, then definte the fields, etc. After this is done, the schema.ini will be automatically created in the directory you selected. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, January 29, 2003, 6:36:38 PM, you wrote: AO> Jon, AO> what does a sample INI look like?
