If I only had one contact and one client, it would be this easy...If you
can get multiple points of contact at multiple client sites to reliably

instead of making your billions as a business-integration consultant? ;-)
Because like everyone else, I can't get the same contact at the same
site to do the same thing twice in a row :-(
My point is that "save as CSV" is (a) a potentially lossy process and
(b) an unnecessary step when you can read straight from the XLS file.
