Could there be tabs in between the fields? Anyway, there is a mistake. >"B" "" 2009-01-27 00:00:00 "GERBER" Either - there is an empty field after "B", which is quote possible, in which case there are no commas around the date "B" "" "2009-01-27 00:00:00" "GERBER" Or one of the commas before the date should be behind it "B" "2009-01-27 00:00:00" "GERBER" You didn't answer my question.
