Hello everyone,

Since a lot of our community members are interested in ways to automate the import of a CSV file, I decided to put together a complete working example database to show how to do it.

I'm happy to share the attached database and a sample CSV file with you. The file contains data on attendees of various events. Here are some things I've put into action:

• There's a Dashboard where users can upload their CSV file. There's no need for an intermediate import table.

• Don't use "Select" statements. Just rely on "References" instead.

• Use the script on the server side to speed up the import process.

• Check for duplicates in all three tables — Contacts, Events, and Attendees.

Happy coding!
