Pretty simple really - it is just that MapInfo doesn't give you a choice of *.csv
files in the open file window.
* Use File _ Open Table
* select "Files of type:" as Delimited ASCII.
* Enter "*.csv" (without the ") in the box that has ".txt" in it and press enter
and you
should be able to see a listing of *.csv files.
* Once you have selected the correct file, it will open a window asking you to
select
the identifier. Click the box next to "Other" which will nominate the
delimiter as
a comma
* tell it if it should use the top row as column names and press OK.
This should solve your problem.
Good luck.
