Will the link go away each time the other database replaces the file?

No, you need to establish the link, do your processing, the destroy the link.
Use the DeleteObject method

Use the TransferDatabase method. Look it up in VB Editor Help. You will
find all the specifics there. Good Luck.

TransferDatabase does not appear to work with a csv file, or at least does
not list that among the options. The only method that does is TransferText.
Is that what I should be using?

D'oh!
Too much going on in my head today. Sorry, you are correct. Also, you
can't link to a text file, you have to import it. Every thing else should
work the same, so.
Import the text file to a temporary table. Append to you permanent table,
then delete the temporary table.
My apologies for leading you astray.
