Hi Colin,

because you should do

Append From j:\global\awbshayes.csv DELIMITED

Example:

TEXT TO lcx NOSHOW
"muh",1
"mih",2
ENDTEXT &&lcx
STRTOFILE(lcx,'test.txt')

CREATE CURSOR xyz (c1 c(5),i1 i)

APPEND FROM test.txt DELIMITED

BROWSE NOWAIT
DELETE FILE test.txt

start from that.

It is also a bad idea to hard code a path

lcFile = getfile()
if !empty(lcFile) then
 APPEND FROM (lcFile) DELIMITED
endif

is absolute minimum.
