Jim, I'm getting an ulcer just thinking about it :-/ Currently from what I understand, the client of my client does not have a database set-up. I guess it would depend if they wanna go out and purchase access or office or something.
In the end, I think that it would be easier to just modify the array by hand if they do not want use ODBC then it would be to do anything else. "Success is a journey, not a destination!!"
