Hi Ed,
We have one primary system setup in the field to report race results.
Last year we wrote a script that included an automatic ftp so a user
would not have to intervine with web access as the mechanism. The data
has already been massage and its only being uploaded for display
purposes.
I'm going to explore uploading data directly to my SQL database, or
even as an XML file for processing my the team services. I'll come
back and post my solution.
Thanks!
Mark
