CSV to Access table - inconsisent columns

I'm back with an import into Access question! :)

I'll be receiving a .csv file that won't have the same column headings each time I receive it. Is it possible to have a table in access containing all the headings that *could* be in the .csv file - - then "read" the csv file and update the table according to the column name? After that, it would be appended to a 'main' table which would hold all the records.

The reasoning behind my madness: What I'm wanting to do is keep the user from having to manually import this file each time and then appending to another table.

Thanks!
