Thanks - I'll give it a try.

Stunningly simple, isn't it, to import the own product data compared to all
of that trouble that one has to go to in using a wizard to get data from
"foreign" products?  I'm sure glad that I don't have to rely on simple
routines such as import wizards that can do the job in moments otherwise I
wouldn't know what to do with my spare time.
