Thanks to both of you for your responses.

I am indeed trying to import budget figures andadd new accounts (and their budget) to the ledger database. During the budgeting process some existing account names have been changed and require updating, and some new accounts have been created in the excel spreadsheet and thus the budget database that must now be added to the ledger database.

I want to add new accounts, update budget information for all accounts (new and old) and update any name changes to existing account. (Nothing like coplicating a problem eh!)

Is there any hope?

Thanks,

Ken
