CSV files accessed via ADO will be read only. ADO does not have a driver that supports writing to or creating CSV files.

Arguments

The Provider supports the following arguments:

FTM
Using FTM=Delimited tells ADO that the CSV file is comma delimited. Although the comma is probably the most widely-used delimiter for CSV files, it's not the only one. Another popular delimiter is the TAB. In that case you would use FMT=TabDelimited. There are other options, but these are the most common variants you'll run into.
HDR
Specifying HDR=YES means that the CSV file contains a header row. A header row simply means that the first row in the text file is a list of fields, with all subsequent rows containing the actual data.
