D.I.C Head Joined: 25 Feb, 2008 Posts: 159	Hey all, I have a question. I am trying to take an excel file get the information from the file and then enter that information into a database (MySQL). I am wondering how difficult would this be to accomplish? Also if anyone knows of any examples I can look at that would be great. Thanks, reCoded.

You can then read it and split the values on the comma. Then add them to an xml document as fields. Add that to a dataset and update/ insert into your mySql database. It'll take a bit of code but won't be too hard I don't think. Take a look at System.IO. There are 3 tutorials here at DIC about this sort of thing: PsychoCoders tutorials Hope it gets you going.
