Using an ODBCConnection and ODBCDataAdapter object, I am able to connect to
a CSV file. However, my data tables are all comeing back with the first line
of the CSV file used as a column header line.

How do i disable this?

TIA//
 
Add headers to the file?

You can do it in the connection string or a schema.ini file. Connection string is easier and I would
recommend using the .NET OLEDB library with the Jet provider instead of ODBC:

Dim TextConnection As New OleDbConnection()

TextConnection.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & "E:\My Documents\TextFiles" & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=""Text;HDR=NO;"""
