The only "issue" I think would be the QuickBooks source, as it stores the addresses in a big single field, so City, State, etc. are going to need to be broken out into separate fields. But once that's done, and you merge the 3 sources into a single flat file, importing the customers into Optigold ISP shouldn't be a big deal at all. If you need some help converting the data, just drop me a private email... As for the web interface, yeah... it's something you can simply "enable" later, so you don't need to worry about it until you want to put it up. - Shawn ------------------------------- Shawn D.
