Answer : How do I import a .csv file using VBA?

Hi indyng,

You can use the DoCmd.TransferText command to accomplish your task easily.

DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "SpecificationName", "TableName", "Filename", True{False}

The Specification Name is useful for creating certain rules about the data

the last parameter True is if file has headings or not

specifications is optional, first try without
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "TableName", "Filename", True

Try this code
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function MyCSVImport()
   On Error GoTo MyCSVImport_Err

DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "YourImportSpecName","YourTableName", "YourCSVFileName.csv",  True ' if first line of csv file headings

'DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "YourImportSpecName","YourTableName", "YourCSVFileName.csv", False ' if first line of csv file dost not have headings.

   MyCSVImport_Exit:
      Exit Function

   MyCSVImport_Err:
      MsgBox Err.Description
      Resume MyCSVImport_Exit

 End Function
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
