Its only while the site is being set up so I could use the access import but I thought it might be a nice feature for the members to use if they want to upload multiple items and have the excel form. I think Kevins idea is a goer and will attempt that now. I am anticipating (after speaking to the client) an excel sheet of no more that 500 rows so hopefully your ideas will work fine.
Much appreciated guys. -----Original Message----- From: Allan Cliff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 October 2003 11:46 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We use this method and it seems to work quite well except that certain OS seem to save CSV as chr(10) as their separator even though CSV should mean "comma". You would have to set up some code to detect this. We also limit the use to 1000 rows per upload. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ellwood To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 20, 2003 12:36 PM Subject: [cfmail] RE: [ cf-dev ] Excel parsing Hmmm...Is it that simple? -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Faulkner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 October 2003 11:18 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' If the EXCEL files could be CSVs , then read the file into memory via CFFILE then loop thru delimitting with chr(10)chr(13) and do an insert each row. This may even wotk with .XLS, but .CSV I know works. -----Original Message----- From: Ellwood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 October 2003 11:16 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ cf-dev ] Excel parsing Does anyone have or know of a good resource for parsing and excel document in = coldfusion MX and I don't mean displaying it using CFCONTENT.
