RE: Web Based Spreadsheet To MSSQL Mapping
No not fine. I don't care if they want it or not, I want it to make my job easier. These are people that if they see something that will understand how it will make their jobs easier. That's why I posted looking for something that someone may have already done. I can't believe that this has not been done before and that no one on this list hasn't seen one before.

Re: Web Based Spreadsheet To MSSQL Mapping
Against all of my recommendations to have us write an import function they don't want to spend the money. Well, if they don't want to spend the money, why care for them anyway? ;-) Do I understand well that if spreadsheets come from their client, they can have about anything in it, in any format? Or do they always have the same type of data in the same columns? -- ___ REUSE CODE!

RE: Web Based Spreadsheet To MSSQL Mapping
Ok, let me reiterate. I care for them because I know if they can see an example, they will foot the integration bill. These are clients that I have that we have been working with for the last 5 years. I care for them because they sustain our business and even if they were one of our smaller customers I feel that caring about your customers is often times more beneficial that monetary returns. They can come in any format. That's why I'm looking for something where they can upload/open the spreadsheet and map the spreadsheet columns to the MSSQL columns that I supply. Something that I can write rules against. If you haven't seen one that's ok. But I don't want to speak about the reason I want to do this. It is an ethical thing that I like to do for my customers.

RE: Web Based Spreadsheet To MSSQL Mapping
Can you force a spreadsheet format on them? If so, you can generate a spreadsheet with locked cells where they can only enter information in cells you have specified. That would make it much easier for you handle the data. Of course, if the sheets contain varying amounts of data, it might not work as well. M!ke -Original Message- From: Bryan F.

Re: Web Based Spreadsheet To MSSQL Mapping
If you haven't seen one that's ok. But I don't want to speak about the reason I want to do this. I was just joking ;-) The reason I asked is because I have a site in which spreadsheets are imported, but the columns always match, so it won't help.

Re: Web Based Spreadsheet To MSSQL Mapping
A matching tool as described would be an easy sell to a lot of people. Though probably would be a nightmare to try and make which might be why I have never stumbled upon a canned solution for it. :) On Thu, 03 Mar 2005 11:38:18 -0500, Claude Schneegans [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If you haven't seen one that's ok.

Re: Web Based Spreadsheet To MSSQL Mapping
To me the mapping itself would not be the nightmare. It would be the reading in the Excel file and grabbing the data correctly. Dealing with any pretty formating it might have, dealing with multiple worksheets and so on. I actually have the need for something kind of like this and will be tackling it some hopefully this month. My need we at least have a great deal of control over how the spreadsheet will always be laid out so not going to be mapping issues.

Re: Web Based Spreadsheet To MSSQL Mapping
It would be the reading in the Excel file and grabbing the data correctly. But isn't this supposed to be handled by the ODBC driver? Sure the Excel file may contain things not compatible with the database, but I assume that if the driver cannot get it, I don't see what I could do any better reading the file directly. -- ___ REUSE CODE!
