[QUOTE=actionjackson;3034684]Having perused it, I have one comment/request. Could you possibly make any commas you used to separate nicknames or schools etc semi-colons? That way if somebody goes to modify your file further they don't get all of say Hank Aaron's columns after the nickname column pushed two columns over to the right due to his having had three nicknames when he played. Once you save a file with commas in it any player that had a comma(s) in all the lines in his entry in the Master will be quite messed up and this will affect game play. Other than that, looks great.

That's odd because I don't see that problem using the Excel .csv files. I'll run some test with and see if OOTP objects. Changing to semi-colan is easily doe if there is no side affect.

It's not periods by embedded spaces in the file name. John T._Smith.jpg will turn into John%20T._Smith.jpg on the web and thus the browsers can't find the file and you get the little red x. There is no issue within OOTP and your own computer, but if you were posting these on the web, then they need to be aligned. So the file name is John_T._Smith. It has no impact on the master file data.
