These files are usually created from a database application when exporting data. Below is an example of the file format that Easy Access accepts. The first line is a header that can be used on importing to identify record field names. It should not be imported.

Commas separate fields, and carriage returns/linefeeds separate records. If your fields contain commas, use quotation marks to delimit the record field.
Each record must end with a carriage return/linefeed, or it will not be imported correctly.
Record formats can vary. Another sample import file is shown below. This import file has no header, so all lines are imported.
