Damon, I read on this subject yesterday to the extent that I think I should avoid EDI (constantly changing standard, expensive and harder to implement, door-to-door delivery) and maybe stick to XML (DTD (on demand) formatting, international, web-ready, affordable and easy to use tools). The EDI format for an invoice (810) is pretty straight forward but I've read that XML may even be easier to use. Now, please tell me more about stripping data to a csv...
