Our earlier post about the Excel Connector has attracted a steady stream of comments about it's usage, so we decided to create a new discussion board just for it:The Excel Connector Discussion.

For all three of you who don't know about it, the Excel Connector is a useful tool to easily import data, insert new records into both standard and custom objects, query data from salesforce and perform mass updates in Excel. It's available for both, Professional and Enterprise Edition cutomers. Though it's not officially supported, several Salesforce.com gurus, including Benji Jasik and Ron Hess (the original author of the connector), frequent the Successforce boards, making it a much better place to discuss it. I've also copied the comments from the earlier post onto the board so that everything is in one place.
