Convert Text (comma delimited) to Access mdb

[jj]

I have this comma delimited text file. I want to convert it in one sweep to
an access DB (mdb) format. I used the following code but it takes forever to
convert. Is there a faster way?

string strConn = @"Provider=Micr osoft.Jet.OLEDB .4.0;Data Source=" +
strAppPath + "\\mydb.mdb ";
OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection (strConn);

conn.Open();

OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand();
cmd = new OleDbCommand("I NSERT INTO mytable Select * from [Text;DATABASE="
+ strAppPath + ";].[mytextdata.txt]",conn );

cmd.ExecuteNonQ uery();

conn.Close();

Any help is greatly appreicated and thank you in advance.

jj,

You might want to consider using the Data Transformation Services. This
will allow you to specify different formats to convert data from/to which
should make the task very easy.

Here are some links to some resources which should help you out:
