[AccessD] commas in comma delimited data

I had data that had quotation marks (single and double), commas,
preformatted tabs as well as preformatted multiple spaces...I ended up using
the tilde character (~) as my delimiter...so far so good;)

Is there some "break" character that I can place in front of or around a
comma to tell Access' wizard that links comma delimited files that a comma
is not a field separator but a real data in the data?

IOW 

27 Heath Way, #27 turns into two fields when imported (skewing the data)
where I really want to pull the data into a single field.

I can replace the comma with a tab but would like to solve this problem for
the future.

Lonnie,
I normally use DTS run from xp_cmdshell:

EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'dtsrun /S <servername> /E /N "<DTS Package
Name>" /A <ParamName>=<ParamValue>', NO_OUTPUT

Notes:
/E indicates use trusted connection.  Alternatively you can user /U
<username> /P <password> for SQL Server security.  
/A is used for setting global variable values
I use the NO_OUTPUT option when executing this from a SQL Server sp,
because ADO mistakes the console output for an error message.

Type dtsrun /? from the server's command window (or master..xpcmdshell
'dtsrun /?' from a query window) for help on all the switches, or look
it up in books online.

Does anyone know if you can send instructions via a pass though query to
start a SQL Sever 2000 DTS package?
 
Anxiously awaiting
