Jim, I think you should import the XLS into a TEMP table to do your evaluations on. If the evaluations pass, APPEND to the permanent table.

One is a file with the time in and out for the whole day. (one per day per employee) The other has punches for specific work done for the day. (many punches per day) Certain employees, because their job is the same each day fail to punch in for the second file. What I want to do is check the excel file as it imports into RBASE for those employees and add a row with specific information. Any ideas as to the best way to accomplish this would be appreciated.
