>>Interesting approach. Is there someplace I can read up on this approach?
Dunno, I managed to set it horsing around with the ODBC manager in Windows. See Administrative tools -- ODBC manager. You must have a special directory dedicated to your .csv files, then you set your txt csv ODBC driver on this directory. Then define an ODBC datasource on it from CF 8 (More complicated than with CF4.5 hey). As soon as you drop some.csv file in this directory, you get a "some" table in your DSN. I thing you must have the first record to list the column names however. At least, this is the way my application works. (I update a list of students from an university this way once a year, it works pretty well) -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
