importing from a comma delimited file
Billy
You can use this NG for your problems with Clarion.
To import a comma-delimited file, you should be using your data dictionary.
Provided it really <is> in a standard CSV format, you should import it as a
Basic file type.
There are some limitations for this driver, which you can find in the help,
under 'database drivers':-
