Joel,
>From memory the plugin is not so good with CSV files but no harm in
trying - it is recommended to use Access or SQL.
There was some talk of another CSV plugin - re an earlier message
from Patrick who put the push behind the plugins:
"The CSV plug-in" ....was developed by TJ at my request, and was kind
of the front-runner for the current ODBC plugin. Ask support for
details.
If you get it working OK with CSV and can fit in a quick report back
here that would be good.
Also there was talk of the ODBC being able to access only one field -
Tomasz said the next version of it would improve on that - I'm not
sure if that happened yet.
Cheers,
Brian_z
