I saw on one screen in the import data screen had 3 choices.
concerning duplicates. The obvious was "no dupes" and the other obvious was
"allow Dupes" the third puzzles me. "update dupes" Which record is it
updating. the old one or the new one?

On an "update" it compares the ModifiedOn field of the both the entity
in the import file and the corersponding entity in the database. If
the ModifiedOn in the import file is more recent than the one in the
db, it will update the properties of the db entity with the values in
the import file.
 
Makes Sense, thank you Luther.

Now that I understand that, I cannot get the box that asks me if I want to
update the dupes.
In essence what I want to do is update the account from an excel sheet with
a current YTD sales number.
Am I asking to much.
