Greetings, Please excuse the on-topic post. I have a dataset with these items... ITEM-1 <Key> ITEM-2 ITEM-3 ITEM-4 ITEM-5 ...and I have a file named ITEMS135 with only data for ITEM-1, ITEM-3 and ITEM-5 in each record. Can I use Suprtool to put the records of ITEMS135 into my dataset? The dataset is pretty large, (68 items), with a size of 534 bytes so I don't really want to build a file to match the layout of the dataset. I just want to populate the dataset with a few items, leaving the rest $NULL or blank. I'm thinking I can input the file, then define the fields, but then how do I get the data into the dataset?
