I'm writing a database program in VB .NET 2k3:

My users are able to access a large database to view single records at a
time.  I need a way for someone to be able to import/paste (or whatever) a
large amount of records in a single instance does anyone know a good way to
go about this?  The only thing I can think of is let them go into the actual
database and paste there, but that's not going to happen.....

I dont understand what youre trying to do. Viewing is a read operation
which you are doing "single records at a time".

Paste/Import is a write operation that you want to in bulk? Do you know
what a dataset is?
