This is how I do it

<cfset RostersOut='#session.userID#'&'PreceptorRosters.csv'>
<cfset RostersFile='DriveLetter:\Path\Path\Path\Path\#RostersOut#'>
<cfset RostersPath='\Path\Path\Path\Path\#RostersOut#'>
<cfset RostersFileName='#RostersOut#'>

<form action='../GeneratedFiles/#RostersFileName#' method="Get" target=_Self
enablecab="No">
        <input type='hidden' name='file' value='#RostersPath#'>
        <input type="Submit" value = "Send #RostersOut# File to Excel">
</form>

<cfset toutput="something1,something2,something3">
<CFFILE ACTION="Write" FILE="#RostersFile#" OUTPUT="#toutput#" ADDNEWLINE="Yes">
<cfset toutput =
'"#attributes.something1#","#attributes.something2#","#attributes.something3#"'>
<CFFILE ACTION="Append" FILE="#RostersFile#" OUTPUT="#toutput#" ADDNEWLINE="Yes">

The user then clicks the form button and it appears

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. Database
or object is read-only.

The error occurred while processing an element with a
general identifier of (CFQUERY), occupying document
position (199:1) to (199:75).
