Hi John,
Thanks - that's a nicely compact solution, albeit in the category
'source block' and in a language I'm not very skilled at :-)
I realise that I have slightly misstated the problem. The ID in the
imported CSV is just a key from the database - I don't need it on the
list of participants. However, it would be nice to number the
participants, who are sorted by surname.
How would I insert a column which just numbers the row?
Cheers,
Loris
