I'm not sure where there is a tutorial, and i haven't been keeping up with the various efforts around importing, but if it's a one time thing that doesn't generally automated, I would suggest simply using excel's various functions to create the entity-engine-xml element for your data.
concatenate(), right(), left(), trim() etc or if you have MS Access and have an odbc for your database to import it using linked tables in Access. --- Hugh O'Donnell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm quite new to ofbiz, but an experienced Java > Developer.
