Peter, I think the piece of info we are all missing (or guessing wrongly about) is: the existing club membership system - is it a web-based system, or an app that runs on your desktop. We're all kind of assuming it's a web page, but I now suspect maybe it isn't. If it is a web page - then the

I'm trying to provide an upload facility for an existing on-line club membership app. This app has a bulk loading facility for initial set up and is designed for whole database configuration. In addition the app provides a manual on-line form with 20+ fields making up a member's record. Ideally
