Check if a CSV file has column headings

Zones: Microsoft Access Database, Access Coding/Macros

Tags: Microsoft, Access, 2007

Is it possible to check before importing a CSV file if it has column headings and if it does, remove that line?

I'm having issues writing a import code for my database, when for example then column heading for Telephone is not imported because the data in this field is number. Access then generates importerrors for this.

I have code which checks these import errors and advises the user that an error has occured and prints out the details. These importerrors would be cleared up if the import process accepted everything and didn't change the column formats.

I can't think of ways arround this, any ideas?

Regards,
Tom
