I have a CSV file with 550,000+ rows.
I need to import this data into Access, but when I try it throws an error that the file is too large (1.7GB).
Can you recommend a way to get this file into Access?

I’d either try the CSV ODBC connector, or otherwise import it first in a less limited database (MySQL, SQL Server) and import it from there.
It seems that some versions of access have a hard 2GB limit on MDB files so you might get into trouble with that anyway.
Good luck.
