Textfile Manipulation

Yes, although its been years since I`ve done it, as I use PHP now, so I
can't give precise details :-)

However, you read in the file using the FileSystemObject (do a search in
google for it for instructions on use), and then you can use string
manipulations to parse the file and break it up (if its a csv file, break it
first by new lines to get each record, and then by comma to get each field).
You can then insert the records into the database.

The last time I did this (and it was a *looong* time ago) I used
Data-binding, but it was IE only.

There might be updated procedures associated with that, or even an
extension.
