It is actually a bit easier than Chuck suggested
Have your empty clone copies have different names Clone 1,Clone 2, etc
Your master is called Master 1
Your associates load the data into Clone x and send you their completed data file
Then just Import Clone x into Master 1. Since the fields are identical, the import is a breeze.
Once done, either have them empty Clone x or create a new empty Clone x-a
You need to have them start over with fresh, empty clones because otherwise you have the risk of duplicate records in the Master
