    I just spent a whole weekend on this problem. My CSV file contains text data contained within double quotes, eg "blah",1,1/10/2011,"blah" and numeric and date data. All fields are delimited by a comma as dictated by the CSV file format. If your field contains a comma but is enclosed by double quotes, then you must specify (") in the Text Qualifier box on the Flat Form Connection Manager Editor form....BUT, if you have already experienced problems with the file import, then you must delete the flat file connection and then create a new instance, otherwise no matter what you do, SSIS will not recognise the text qualifier. It works!!

    You need to delete Connection Manager AND Flat File Source within package and recreate for it to work.
