TG & Jmic,

Could either of you tell me how to assign the values from the CSV to the SQL table? I think I am going to build the program both ways (I could use the practice).

The SQL server is on this LAN, so I want to see how fast it would be looping through the records. (This was the idea in the original post.) Any ideas on how to do this?
