Martin,
Impossible is nothing. However doing that directly with .Net is hard. Using a delimiter other than comma needs a schema.ini file (and luck to find out how to write it). If you'd do it with .Net then probably changing it to a regular delimited file (dblquotes and comma) or parsing on the fly would be easier.
PS: For a comma delimited file use Jet provider.
