Tried you example (using String.IO;) and it worked very nicely.
I had previously tried:

string cFileName;
string cContents;
cFileName=VFPToolkit.dialogs.GetFile();
cContents=VFPToolkit.strings.FileToStr(cFileName);

That does the same and also works very nicely.

Now I have to learn to efficiently parse a csv (they will be anywhere from 200 to 60,000 rows). Then add them to SQL Server.
I'm getting there step-by-step. <g>
