Right - but with ALines you are stuck to only being able to process this
with a memofield and it won't work on large CSV files. Also, it won't work
if there are CRLF between quotes per my earlier reply. It can work but I
personally would probably go with StrTran if commas and CRLF are not an
issue and size of the file is less than 16 megs. Otherwise I think he is
stuck with either Append From CSV into a cursor or writing his own function
depending on the parameters of the CSV file.
It is a string that I want to parse, not a file.
