[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 1:49 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: ODBC and cvs files Hi friends: I'm trying to make a query from a csv file (test1.csv). The way I thought was to make an ODBC entry for text files . In the ODBC entry I only can specify the directory not the file name. So I guessed I had to include that in the final query. There is something I'm missing . I will appreciate your help.Any new ideas could be great too. Down the code and what I see in my browser . Thanks for any help Mario //my code <cfquery name="InstrLedAttQuery" datasource="EkOutsideFiles" dbtype="ODBC"> SELECT * FROM test1.cvs </cfquery> //What I get in my browser Error Diagnostic Information ODBC Error Code = 42000 (Syntax error or access violation) [Microsoft][ODBC Text Driver] Cannot update.
