Yup - that is essentially what I just did - after doing Similar tests as you just did!
So - I guess I'm good to go... Thanks all for the feedback! -K- -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeff Johnson Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2010 12:29 PM If I do an "APPEND FROM TYPE CSV" it does not import the first line. I just deleted the header line of a csv file and it did not append the first record of data. I added back in "x" as a first line and it ignored it and appended the whole file correctly. If it were my project, I would just add something to the first line followed by the chr(13) + chr(10).
