Hey Michael - sorry to hear of your problems. And - of course - other guys on the list are having fun with this at your Expense! (BAD Steve - hey - let the guy Cry if he wants to!!!)
Now - I know this whole thing is a total PITA - and, I don't know if this suggestion of mine will be much help - but, you might want to give it a thought... What if you re-wrote your import - so that it did some kind of Test to confirm if the Import file is in the right format. And, if its not - give some kind of interface that somehow allows the User to match up - visually - the data columns incoming - against the data columns in your system. And, even save this kind of a layout - so that the system remembers it for the next time - and even allows it to be changed again. This way - Throw the Ball into your Clients Court - to force THEM to handle the import - and that THEY Have to do the Extra work each time - but, then - YOU do NOT Have to do ANY More work in the future for the Import. Again - its just a Thought - and, may be difficult to implement. But, have that difficulty ONE Time - and then no more PITA stuff in the future - if possible!!! -K- -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Madigan Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2013 4:43 AM These guys are morons. ----- Original Message ----- From: Alan Bourke <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: If this client is such an expert why's he using Excel for this. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/0E75546A26AF4119BF5ADD03C7CB3C32@Programming2 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
