schema.ini file not working for MS Access

Question

I have a bunch of csv files that I import via VBA into tables in Access. I also have a schema.ini file in the same directory as the csv files that I am importing. Despite fields

Answer 1

I think your syntax for field specifications is wrong.
From http://www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/database/work-with-text-file-data-using-the-microsoft-text-driver-creating-a-csv-data-file.html

Understanding the Schema.ini file line by line

Line 5 and above: Specify each column’s Name, Data type, Width if applicable. The general syntax is

Col(n)=

Where n is the position of the column in the CSV file, and Width is mandatory only for Text.

and https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms709353%28VS.85%29.aspx

The next entry designates fields in a table by using the column number (Coln) option, which is optional for character-delimited files and required for fixed-length files.

So you can omit Col1=, Col2=, etc. as you did, but the = belongs between Col(n) and the column name, not between name and type. So replace the = by space.

In addition, INTEGER may not be a valid data type to import into Access - use Short or Long instead. But I'm not sure about that.

Edit: I haven't actually used this (or if I have, I forgot about it), but from the references I linked it should look:

[ForClsDatedModel_2015 0702_1004-1254.csv]
ColNameHeader=True
Format=CSVDelimited
"Ticker" TEXT
"WT Def BSS MF-WT" LONG
"Cyc BSS MF-WT" DOUBLE

or if that doesn't work, try including Coln - most examples include them, even if it's CSVDelimited:

[ForClsDatedModel_2015 0702_1004-1254.csv]
ColNameHeader=True
Format=CSVDelimited
Col1="Ticker" TEXT
Col2="WT Def BSS MF-WT" LONG
Col3="Cyc BSS MF-WT" DOUBLE
