Good points. If there's a lot of data involved, you probably want to cut CF out of the picture entirely.
Bet there's /tons/ of MS stuphs for like, dropping them in a folder and having them auto-magically imported into MSSQL and whatnot. Yeah, the stuff I was working with is best for writing excel files (cuz it lets you do stuff POI/etc. doesn't). I had been using it for a round-trip deal-- download, modify, upload... worked pretty slick, too (since I couldn't break them of their spreadsheet habits at that time-- now they've seen the light, thankfully :]). Some stuff, spreadsheets are good for. Other stuphs... not so much. :-) :D -- I don't believe it. Prove it to me and I still won't believe it.
