i am exploring the option of whether DoCmd.TransferText
will do what i need, and it seems like it wont. i need to insert data if it does not exist and update it if it does exist
i am planning to read a text file line by line like this:
Dim intFile As Integer
Dim strLine As String
intFile = FreeFile()
Open myFile For Input As #intFile
Line Input #intFile, strLine
Close #intFile
i guess each individual line will be a record. it will probably be comma separated and some fields will have a "
text qualifier because within the field itself i will have commas
my question is how would i read a comma delimited text file that has double quotes
sometimes as text qualifiers into a table in access?
