Although it sounds like its in a state where it has to be a 100% manual operation. Sounds like a job for Python! Although it sounds like its in a state where it has to be a 100% manual operation.

I was given the same sort of project when I changed roles at The Stanley Works from senior designer to product data administrator. My predecessors had put off a massive data cleansing effort but when we finally got the green light to implement a new PLM system it had to be done. My wife could not understand why I started bringing home stacks of MRP printouts and product drawings, but I found that I actually enjoyed all the red-lining. The work was mind-numbing at times but I honestly enjoyed the work, especially the results and the satisfaction of knowing I had made a real difference in our production and delivery processes. I hope all of your hard work leads to something good for you. ; ) Hey, PB, does THAT sound familiar!
