If the quotes are consistent in the column, then you are, in fact, missing out on a format file option that MS didn't document because they "don't support CSVs". \" is what you use as part of the FIELDTEMINATOR column to represent double quotes. Importing such CSVs using BCP and BULK INSERT will be the subject of another article.
Of course! Yes, I do remember coming across the approach where double quotes are included as part of the field terminator. There's also a way to "eat" the leading double quote from the first column, but I'll wait for your next article on the topic. I was able to take an approach where I didn't need format files, but I guess what I was really hoping for is a Magically-treat-double quotes-like-Excel-does command line option!:-D
