Hi Sherrie,

I ended up writing a Windows app I call QuickbaseImporter that is driven from command-line parameters (no user interface). It can import from any folder accessible to Windows (including local drive, network drive, Dropbox, Drive, etc. if exposed as a Windows folder). You can specify the table and fields to import into on the command line. It can easily be scheduled to run with the Windows Task Scheduler.

If you are interested in more details, contact me at the email/phone below.

  Thanks Joe! I ended up using a sync'd table directly from SFTP. It seems to be working for now. Thanks again, s.
