MapSource

[jstbecauz]

Is there any way to get numbers from an excel spreadsheet into MapSource without the obvious manual entry?

If I give someone the spreadsheet will they enter them, and then just email me the .gdb file?

I wrote some software to do just that about a year ago. It would have to be tweaked for how your excel file is structured, but if you send it to me it shouldn't be too much trouble to get it working.

What language did you write it in? Wanna send me the source for some $$$?

Its written in C#. I would not ask for cash, its just a simple program that simulates keystokes to enter the information in. The numbers in the excel file have to be in the format that Mapsource likes, but if they are not already I can have the program do that as well. I would be more than glad to give it to you, but it might be simpler to just give me an excel file with 3 numbers structured the way your excel file is structured and I can modify it then give it to you.

However you would like to do it, I have a compiler here that I use, I can send you a file if you would like to do it that way.

Thanks
