Subject Re: IMPORTING CSV file From Lee Grant <camilee@nospam.comcast.net> Date Thu, 11 Apr 2019 02:25:56 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Future project, I guess I can look at expanding that program a bit, by using a form to create, choose / files, and maybe create a class out of it ...but, baby steps at this point. I'm still trying to figure out how to get a plain _app and _app.framewin and menu to work without crashing in an MDI setup in the IDE.  I like to work from the front inward, so this is a pain for me not to be able to do it two-way. Crashing is a pain. :( Lee On 4/11/2019 2:02 AM, Lee Grant wrote: > Adding to that, > > Since I needed to do what I said, I went ahead and created a small > program that just encloses the csv data in quotes so they can manually > append the file to a table they have to format the same way the file > presents the data, in character strings, so things like the periods, > percentage sign and other characters, other than the comma's and the > CR/LF can be brought in as is.
