You bring up an interesting point. I was thinking about using an import for the delimted file but ws unsure about the ability to dynamically create a table from the file. Is this possible?
As for the Excel files I was going to use POI to read the data. I don't know of an import that will import an Excel sheet from an Excel file. Do you know of one?
