Populating TextBoxes with values from an imported database

I have a macro now that performs extractions and random samples based on a number of user-entered edit boxes on the dialog screen. The user entered data comes from a standardized Excel workbook that contains the proper data in a structured manner. What am I wondering is if there is a way to "import" those values such that the text boxes are essentially filled in with the data contained in the Excel workbook?
Thanks for any information!

Running a script on multiple databases before appending

Hi Brian,
I've got two scripts that I'd like to combine to create one process. My goal is be able to categorize each database in a .IDM file (unicode) by appending a field with the first number in each database name before appending all the databases together. Using some other scripts I've found and tweaked, I have the two separate codes I need, but I'm not sure how to put them together.  Any help you could provide would be appreciated.

Shell function

Hi all,
I have read some scripts writing about import multiple files and there is a part about Shell function that I am not clear. For example
 
Function BrowseFolder()
Dim oFolder, oFolderItem
Dim oPath, oShell, strPath
Dim msg As String
Set oShell = CreateObject( "Shell.Application" )
Set oFolder = oShell.Namespace(17)
Set oFolderItem = oFolder.Self

Import file and append to database in one go

Hi all,
I need to import a very large number of files and append them into one master database.
I have written a simple script to import the files, and another simple scripte to append them into one database. So, I can just run the two scripts one after the other and be done.
However, due to the very large number of files (>500k), I am a bit  worried about performance: IDEA needs to 'open-read-write-close' the files twice: first for the import-routine and then for the append-routine.

Fill Down Macro within an IDEAScript

Hi all - as always, thanks in advance for the help!
I use the Filldown Utility from the IDEAScripts section of the site all the time. What I'd like to do is incorporate that functionality into another script I've built that does some file cleanup on a standard file I receive frequently. But, I want to skip the dialogue box to select the fields to fill down and instead have a defined list of ~5 fields to run. How would I do that?
