The basic program is right now in working order.  I am wanting a large
amount of test data to be uploaded and see how the database and my
code scales.

Vincent:

You said last year when we were first talking about a database, you
would be willing to parse the two membership text files.  Can you
parse the two text files into one text file with the following fields?

First Name
Last Name
Email
Date Initial Application Received
Date Initial Application Decided
Initial Application Assigned to
Determination (Yes, No, Pending)
Contribution

That would help me a lot.  Then I will be able to parse the one text file
into SQL insert statements.
