Bulk loading is not really the domain of ADO but have you considered,
providing you don't have duplicate problems (i.e you are appending)
1/ Taking your input file, extracting the metadata from the target table and
create insert values statement
INSERT INTO Dest (field names)
VALUES (insert values here)
2/ As above but use parameters for the values
You could also try (using a Client/static/BatchOpt) if you are using an
identity field
TADODataSet.Recordset.Properties['Update Resync'].Value := 0;
// 0 = none, 1 = AutoInc (default), 2 = Conflicts, 4 = Updates
// 8 = Inserts, 15 = Allsetting
