GREAT idea from the sounds of it Tim - If I had a CLUE as to how to do the Java part :-) Even have a Java CD but have not gotten around to finding the time to seriously devote to learning it... "One man shop" and "you know whats to the walls" lately. Thanks !

Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Painless is a subjective word... For me it means, a way to get a job done with the least amount of support calls later :-) But one suggestion would be to use java, and one of the EXCEL classes out their (accutate [$$$], or POI [free]) these classes will allow you to read/write native xls files, and then you can read the column definitions (ie: text or numeric) and then after you have read all the column types, you can create a table via sql on the as/400 to match these data types, and then you iterate through the spread sheet and populate the table on the as/400. This could all be triggered after the FTP to the as/400, and use the run remote command (top launch the java program) after your PUT command...
