You’ve got a good habit of coming up with the video on the weird business problem I’m working on @Cristian_Negulescu

Just a trap I ran into with the Microsoft CSV ODBC Connection - it can’t deal with two “.”''s in a file name. E.g. if your csv happened to be called:

dbo.t011_licences.csv

You get an error message saying “The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object”

Works fine if you just get down to a single .

Thanks again.
