I stole the project from Thormented, so I don't think I should enforce rules on how to do it. I'll be very hands for off for a few weeks or months.

Deleting and replacing table contents in a SQL based system isn't that big of a deal, while parsing imported data and only modifying if it there is a difference is an enormous pain. The ability to compare previous versions may be desirable, so a set of backup tables may be advisable.

The Access VBA functions are pretty simple relative to shooting regexs at a text file, I think it actually may be the simplest solution so long as the data is stored in a tabular format.

I only suggested replicating the RPGMaker form structure so that people used to it would not be confused. I agree that may be suboptimal.

Let me know if you have any questions.
