      This is a good system – only problem is if you have a database with 100+ tables some of which have 100+ fields it is a massive job to match fields when importing/merging from a data source.

      Having tried virtually every piece of software out there I have seen features that I believe should be incorporated to make your system the best available. Your trigger system, scheduling etc are all great.

      1. A visual field-mapping (drag and drop) tool (such as DBPut Pro – I mention this program only so you can see what I mean.)

      2. If (1) is too hard -what about a drop-down list for target table fields so we don't have to type them in?

      3. If you do (2) then make a larger screen for selecting fields – the tiny drop down is hard to use when you are searching for a field amongst hundreds in unordered field lists.

      4. Enable field lists to be order (ascending / descending) for easier matching.

      5. Provide an XML editor for faster mapping.

      (For anyone who has the same problem, a cheap XML Editor will enable you to modify the XML in table form – reply to post if you want some suggestions)

      Hope you can help

      Have you considered creating the config. XML file manually?

      Yes, what I now do is start the process in SqlYog to create the base XML file then I edit the XML. It's OK as a workaround for now.
