Possibly a challenge or maybe a bore!

Hi all,

I currently use a data loader from excel that i created, to load values into oracle.

I was thinking wouldnt this be cool if i could do it through the web i.e i would not have to always have workbook with me i could just go my website and click a button and hey presto watch it load.

The current loader has a set of parameters and carries these out i.e to tab i write tab, to go the menu i have coded it *AV etc etc.

Is anyone Asp.html literate to know how to do this or fancy a challenge?

If anyone is interested i will send them my current version as it is to large to put it on the forum

hi lasw10,

If you can send me your email address i can you the file.

Basically at present in excel i enter certain commands and then click a macro button which then upload it front end to oracle.

Basically you can watch it load rather than straight to the database this way.

The code is below but send me you email address and i can send it to you.
Also do you want a couple gmail accounts?
