Importing Log Data

I want to reorganize all the log entries in a schedule. The plan was to export via dbf to xls, manipulate the data and then reimport to P3. All goes well until I find that an empty imported log field won’t replace a log field that already contains text. Trouble is Global Calcs don’t seem to handle log-data, or else I would clear all the fields that way and then import.
Any Ideas?

    Have you considered using the batch utility?

    Good suggestion, although I was hoping for something a bit more straightforward. Nonetheless, that may be the most practical way of doing it. I have experimented with importing various unprintable characters into the fields that I want emptied and that appears to work, at least when you look at the results. However, the characters are still in the fields (you can tell when you export again). If I can find the time, I will try using Batch, or maybe even ODBC.
    Thanks,

    ODBC would certainly be my preferred option rather than batch.
