CSV to Access in ASP...

I've been trying to figure this out on my own for two days and I give up at this point. I'm creating a web administration interface, and the user would like to be able to upload a CSV file, and have it post to the database.

I originally tried using the microsoft text driver, and that worked great. However, putting the CSV in an array to save the information and then open the access database didn't work, because the CSV is so huge, I'm getting out of memory errors when running the array... and of course the client isn't interested in my ideas of why they should change hosts.

Anyway, my problem is this. I need to find a way to add the records in a CSV file on the server (I've already got the uploading working) to the database, without using an array. I'm stumped :(

Thanks so much for any advice you can give in advance!

Ok, I finally figured out a way to do it to where it isn't a strain on the server, but my loop isn't working.

Heres the code:

[PHP]

Dim FSO, CSV, CSVHeaders, lineCount

set FSO = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
set CSV = FSO.opentextfile(server.mappath("excel\Master.csv" ))

' Skip the header line and move to the next
CSV.Skipline

' Connect to the database to perform addition
dim conn, rs, strSQL
Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
conn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("db")

strSQL = "DELETE * FROM tbl_locations"
rs.Open strSQL, conn, 2, 3

count = 0

Do Until CSV.AtEndOfStream
count = count + 1
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tbl_locations"
rs.Open strSQL, conn, 2, 3
rs.AddNew
CSVSplit = split(CSV.Readline, ",")
rs("ID") = CInt(CSVSplit(0))
rs("StoreNumber") = CSVSplit(1)
rs("StoreName") = CSVSplit(2)
rs("Address1") = CSVSplit(3)
rs("Address2") = CSVSplit(4)
rs("City") = CSVSplit(5)
rs("State") = CSVSplit(6)
rs("ZipCode") = CSVSplit(7)
rs("PhoneNumber") = CSVSplit(8)
set CSVSplit = nothing
rs.Update
rs.Close
Response.Write(count)
loop
CSV.close
conn.close
set rs = nothing
set conn = nothing

[/PHP]

For some reason, the loop isn't working. The CSV has maybe 100 lines in it, but its reading and processing the first record correctly, then stopping. the count i've set up only makes it to one.

Any clues?
