Hi Brenda,

If the number of fields in the CSV is the same as the table, AND if the data types match up across the board, how about

APPEND FROM MyFile.CSV DELIMITED

If they don't, or if the text fields aren't surrounded by quotes, you might try one of the following approaches:
1) Appending the data to a structure that DOES match, SCANning that table and using INSERT INTO statements to populate the desired table; or
2) Appending the data into an array and re-INSERTing in the same manner.

There are several other ways, including FileToStr() and FGETS(), but they take some more coding.

HTH.
