Hi Ian, > Would it be acceptable to save in two passes (2 db transactions)?
Preferably not, because the old data has so many variations in the data (read this as rubbish data), we can't automate the conversion, so we have to fix old data as we go, until we get a successful conversion. Thus we don't want half converted data left behind in the new database if our conversion goes pear shaped in the first few attempts. Thanks though, you did give me some good ideas that I'll try on Monday.
