Get external data locks text file

E

eastmadc

I have a scenerio where I am querying a csv file off from a network
drive using excel. This file is appended with information written by
another computer.
When I import a text file using a database query with the microsoft
text driver I intermittently experience a permission denied on the
computer writing to this csv file.
There is no need for excel to lock the csv file qhen querying (as I am
not writing to the file).

I modified the DSN file to add readonly=1 which did not work. How
can I resolve this issue?

Thanks for your help.

Dustin
