haha i guess your right! they have been using excel files for tens of years!! i guess they like the freedom excel gives them as all their supplier prices ect is different from sheet to sheet.....

i havent used SQL for years ive been using firebird when i need a db.. but obviously you dont get many hosting companies running a firebird server...

the main reason they were looking at dropbox is they are using it currently for their files so they "like and understand" it.

thanks again for your help, i really hope they will change their minds coz to create an interface for every sheet is gonna be a hell of a lot of work and they will never be able to add any suppliers, where id like them to standardise and then it might as well go onto a sql db!

 

kind reagrds
