I have just acquired RAD XE7 and want to start working on a project.  I have an old Database file which I exported to an excel CSV format.  I need to import this file into InterBase but don't see any help or free tools that will do that.  I don't want to spend $$$$$ for this as I am only needing to do this once.  Program tips/advice needed.  Thanks.

You can it with IBConsole. First Create the table, then Right click in 
the Data tab and there will be an import option.

You might be able to import it using the IBX TIBImportDelimitedFile.  IBDataset 
and IBSQL both have a BatchInput method that takes this as its parameter to so 
inputs.
