I don't understand what anyone is talking about! To do CSV you must eliminate IMAGE file capability? This is a CROCK! What are the arguments? I gotta hear this!! CSV and image files have absolutely no relationship. Comma separated values and image files are not related. READ/WRITE image does not match the string field "12345,ABC,SPORTS,..., whatever"! If you work on payroll systems employee/employer info has to be communicated at Fed/State/County/Local levels. In the USA this is accomplished via CSV files. Usually less that 254 bytes long per text record. You've got to dot your I's and cross you're T's. There are different records types and you must follow the specs. SO!! Can MTB programmers do the following and not lean on Jim concerning the File (1) CSV statement. You need this much HELP?
A$=FEDID$+","+ZNAME$+","+ZADR1$+","+ZADR2$+",",...,"WHATEVER"+"@0D0A@" and then do a WRITE. What?? If you want any character to be the delimiter replace "," with A$ and define A$ with anything you want. I feel this is a waste of Jim's time!! You can't do this??
