You are setting it up to a directory and not to a file name, right?
The text ODBC driver works on a directory, and the name of the "table" in
SQL is the name of the file, thus if you put "C:\MyTextFiles" as the
Database Directory, then use
select Date, PackagesSent, SiteTours, InitialOffers
from MyFile.csv
It should work OK.
