A CSV file is a text file in the "Comma-Separated Values" format. Each
line in the file represents a row of data, with the individual field
values in each row separated by commas. Text values may or may not be
enclosed in quotes; even if they are not always enclosed in quotes, a
text value will usually be enclosed in quotes if it contains a comma.

Many programs are capable of exporting or importing data in CSV format.
It was long the most common data interchange format, but it may be that
XML has now overtaken it.

Access can export, import, or link to CSV files.
 
Thanks Mr. Goldgar. You have helped me out on several posts. My Next Post
will be an important one but has nothing particular to do with this post.
