      Hello,

      well, as far as I know that is not possible. I have struggled also many days with all kinds of databases.
      A csv file can be connected as a read-only database to a VB6 application using (I think...) ADODC.Connectio nString.
      You can step through the csv file but you CANNOT write modified data back to the csv file.

      I now use Excel files as databases. You could also use Access mdb files or whatever database type, but Excel files can easily manually been modified by the Excel application which is part of MSOffice.
      So no special database read/write application is needed if you want to check or debug your database actions.

      HTH

      regards,

      Henk

              I think you need to research CSV databases. About 10 - 15 years ago, a lot of programs used CSV files as Databases.

              I've never done it but I know of one programmer (Nieces husband) who had one that had about 100 users.
