    Use bulk insert to import the file into a table and join to it as you normally would.

    As an alternative, you could Create a Linked Sever or OPENROWSET and read from the file directly.

    All 3 methods are clearly described in Books Online (comes free with SQL Server).

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
