Problem: I know about the External Table functionality of Interbase, but the CR/LF issues is a set back. Because if I understand correctly, you have to create/modify the table to accommodate for the CR/LF. Solution: the CR/LF is not required in an external file. The only reason you would want to add it would be if: 1) other applications accessed the file and required each row on a separate line 2) you wanted to be able to view the file If you are just using the external file as a temp table to modify your internal file the CR/LF isn't necessary.
