Hi John, I really like the idea of that solution - its very sexy....but as it is it is going to be a steep learning curve for me to do it the more manual way of getting the file via email, saving it and then running the java app on the file to scrape the data to ms access.
Perhaps I can tackle this by doing it the "manual way" and then once that is up and running think about a new feature of doing it your way - hopefully by then my java skills will be sharper too :-) But I really like the idea.
