Column Row Delimeter Problem

I'm trying to import a comma delimited text file into a SQL table-

The row delimiters I am assuming are {CR}{LF}

When I try to open up my file in Excel, the data file parses perfectly.

When I try to port it over in SSIS, I get an error:

"The column delimeter for column <my column> was not found."

"An error occurred while processing the file <my file> on data row 2076"

I've tried looking at that data row, and i am having a hard time finding anything wrong with the row.

Anybody know of any good ways to debug that?

n/m- I figured out my problem- the data was buggy- it had dual double-quotations- yet the double-quotations are what signified text qualifiers- and SSIS was not correctly picking up the text qualifiers correctly.

How do you get SSIS to understand quotes if the text qualifier is a quote?
