I have a file, Capacity.asp in a folder, JobStatus, that contains a csv file, Capacity.csv. I need to open a recordset in the asp page that uses the .csv file as a source. I've been googling myself silly for the last 2 days and all I get is how to download a recordset to a csv file.

How do I open a recordset using a csv file as the source in an asp page that is written in VBScript?

Scroll down to "You can also open a Text file using the JET OLE DB Provide".

Note that by default you will need a true CSV file for this. That is, commas between fields, with optional quotes around field values.

If you have extended needs (e.g., TAB between fields, or maybe fields are enclosed in apostrophes), you will need to set up a "schema.ini" file in the same directory as the CSV file. You can search MSDN for "schema.ini". One link to start you is here:

Caution: Note that the connection string specifies only the *DIRECTORY* where the file is located. Many people miss that point and try to use connection.open to get to the actual CSV file. You specify the file name in the SQL query.
