That's actually what I'm trying to do now. When the names comes up strange,
it goes into an exception list... The users will then be able to modify the
list and then add the records...

Hmm, well if there's money in it, that's different. How about writing a
program to go through and divide the data into several different lists by
number of names, then write a seperate parser for each list, or create some
kind of name wierdness detector so that you can do the bulk of the data
automatically and then focus on the strange ones that you have left.
