Once a month, we have to download a database of "excluded persons from here: and run our employee list against it to see if any are on the "excluded" list.
The first problem: The database is in ".DBF" format and normal Excel and Numbers will not open it. (The no-longer-supoprted AppleWorks will but...).
Ideally**, I would drop the zipped DBF file into a watched folder and it would unzip the file and compare the existing employee list to the database. reporting any found or a negative in the event none are found.
I have found that NeoOffice will open the DBF file and it can be searched. Any suggestions on how to automate this process?
