Hi,

You might try to use RRR|Chive to import your ARX data. It keeps the Request
ID intact as a default setting.

source_arx              = yourfile.arx
target_server           = server
target_user             = Demo
target_password         = PROMPT
target_disablemergefltr = YES
multipleforms           = *
splitsearch             = YES
transfertype            = SYNCTOTARGET
logfile                 = AUTO
progressbar             = YES

The SYNCTOTARGET setting will delete/overwrite any records that does not math
the combination of Request ID + Modify Date.

        Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://rrr.se
