how to use a different record delimiter ?



Hi

I am trying to build a macro that can automatically import and then
append the data in a CSV file to an existing table.

The fields within the record are comma separated but the records are
separated by a semicolon and not a new line.

Is there a way I can change the default newline record delimiter to a
semicolon ?

Thanks in advance
