Hi Hans,
I have tried your Import-Parameters. With my complete dataset it didn't work.
The result was a strange mix of cells.
Currently I am reading the file completely doing the convertion manually 
by using resgular expressions.
Even if the csv-import would work, it's horribly slow (more than 1000 
Seconds with you Import-Parameters).
It would be nice, if there would exist a csv-Import-Function where there 
could be given a list that
describes the contens of the columns. In such case Import should run 
much more faster producing better results.
Thank you for your suggestion.
Andre
