Hmmm, OK, thanks. I'll go digging in the import code to see if I can create
a comma delimited import routine to save the account number and import just
the customer data with no package info. We can import all existing
customers that way and go add package info by hand for each group we add. 

Can I at least set the minimum starting customer number somewhere so that
new customers added by hand have numbers above our highest account number
from our existing system?

Figured that from the first answer <grin>. I'll figure out which variables
I'm looking for and set grep loose on the Freeside tree to build a list of
the files/modules I need to investigate.

Thanks,

Gerald
