A two-step process
like Veronica suggests does not work for us. Even with steps written
down there have been users who will forget to do something in a process
chain. For me, the KISS principal is still a good one to follow.

That my 1/2 cent on the question.

Personally I greatly prefer CSV to TAB files.


But Steve's concern on the two step process in unfounded. The two step process is two logical steps, but this should be invisible to the user. It is very easy to put an task that runs every (say) 5 minutes to perform the data import and to periodically (usually at different intervals) to perform the data export.

And because of the system time available in modern versions of Windows, the programmer is not really creating a 'task', they are just writing a simple program.
