Hi,<br>
<br>
Import Excel-sheet first to temporary table. Then make insert query from temporary table to target table where you match all the matching fields plus make an extra expression field with Date() function and match that to target table's download date field. And make these steps (import, insert, delete rows from temp.table) as a nice macro.<br>
<br>
This can sometimes be faster than UPDATEs.<br>
<br>
Yours,<br>
