automate csv field change?

[ms]

I have a report that is auto-generated as a CSV daily. I then need to
manually import it somewhere else - daily.

I would like to take Row 1, which exports as:
Col 1, Col 2, Col 3, etc. (Col 1 in A1, Col 2 in B1, Col 3 in C1, etc.)

and change it to:
Name, Address, City, etc.

What is the easist/quickest way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

ms,

I like to import from external database. This makes it simpler, to me at
least.

First, you have to have the MS text driver set up in OBDC.

In Excel,
Data/Import External Data/New Database Query

Select your CSV file, and add the fields you need.

Finish the wizard, but go to the Query editor, and change the SQL statement
like:

SELECT file.`Col 1` AS 'Name', file.`Col 2` AS 'Address', file.`Col 3` AS
'City',...etc
FROM file.CSV file

Then return the data to Excel.

Hope this helps.

Others may have better answers...
