I'm using ArtWorks 2.X2.00 and TableMate 5.01b (7 Oct 2000)
and don't find a problem when importing fairly simple
tables. I have also converted a much more complex Excel
spreadsheet from Windows and imported it into TableMate as
a CSV file and that too loaded into ArtWorks without
problem.

If the suggestion below doesn't do the trick, I'd be happy
to try one of your files.

Try dropping the TableMate file onto the ArtWorks icon or
into an ArtWorks window. The TableMate format is just a
Draw file with extra information which ArtWorks ignores. It
works here.
