Hi willmcn,<br />
If I check the &quot;Don't import first record&quot; checkbox on my script, will it stay that way forever? <br />
Also, I am concerned about someone my try to import a different file (different fields or out of order) than the one expected, is there anything that I can do to prevent that from happening?<br />
I don't want user to have to map things out manually, but at the same time I want to prevent mistakes.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

I have a script that imports records from an excel spreadsheet. I do not want the user to have to go through the mapping of the fields every time they want to import records. Is there something that I can do to ensure the scripts line up correctly, and that no headings are imported.<br />
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
