Thanks for the info Mark. I'm really trying to automate this as much as possible since I probably won't be the one using it (I'm management... sorta).

sealeopard,
I still likle the idea of using an access database and have been scouring the boards looking gor examples. I did manage to find what looks like a great script to learn from but I can't get the darn thing to work.

Create/Read/Update MS Access Database

I've been messing around with it for a an hour but the most I can get it to do is make my floppy drive squak. Apparently I'm doing something wrong.
