My current method will be to check based on primary key fields (last, first, address, city) .
My hope was to put in a filler value until I get real values from my DB. List first "unique" customer with an ID of 1, then also use a CustomerID in the orders part of the XML during the transformation that matches (1). For the OrderID I can use the Order_Number I am getting from my partner, and then when I send it to my DB my OrderID numbers will be used instead.

So you still have no way of determining if an order from "John Smith" from a particular address is from the same person as an order from "J. Smith" at the same address. If you are willing to accept that, you can use the technique described on Jenni Tennison's web site that has been recommended to you. -- Charles Knell cknell@xxxxxxxxxx - email

O.K., once you have the file, how will you discover if a customer is already in the database?
