Import .csv file into SQL dbase tables

Tags: csv, import, sql, file
Before I ask my programmer to import information into a dbase, I'd like some opinions on whether or not it can be done...Here's the scenario:

I have a SQL 2000 dbase residing on an Internet site.  All the forms and data entry to the hosted dbase are written in Visual InterDev as .asp pages on our server.  The users also have a local accounting package (on their hard drive) that has information that needs to be exported out of their accounting software and imported into the dbase residing on the server.  There would need to be several lines of information regarding each "payment" coming from the accounting package (a record for client information, a record for supplier information, a record for payment information, etc).  I would like to import these records into the Internet dbase.  Can code be written that will read a .csv file and update several SQL tables?  If so can it be read a field at a time to import?
