I have been asked to create a CSV file to send to an outside company.

They sent me a standard file layout and I created the file just fine using
a file transfer request using Access.

Got a note back and now they want a "header" record inserted as
the first record of the file. This header record is nothing but column
heading with descriptions.

Since the file has fixed field lengths, I can't just put a dummy record
there to create this stupid header.

I need to be able to store the CSV header record somewhere and copy it
as the first record on each file transfer.

Any ideas.
