How can I read CSV files without Microsoft Access Runtime installed?

Microsoft Access Runtime 2016 recently went EoVS and our company has uninstalled it everywhere. What alternative can we use to read our TestComplete CSV files?

    Hi Rachel53461,

    A CSV file is just a text file as you likely know.  It can be read straight in as text and added to an object.  aqFile, aqTextFile, aqString  

    You don't need the MS Access runtime.

    Another option is the DDT.CSVDriver...
