Want to insert CSV file to Appleworks spreadsheet

I receive a monthly CSV File that I want to insert/open in an ongoing Appleworks spreadsheet. This is a monthly list of donors to our mission. Many are regulars, some are infrequent.

I want to be able to setup a system whereby I can see those who have not been donating and send them a reminder AND send a THank You to first time donors. Is this possible with Applescript?

Thanks so much for any and all help.

I run Mac OSX 10.3.8 and Appleworks 6.

The short version: Yes, AppleWorks is scriptable.

The long version:
Applescript has a very steep learning curve. It's not that easy to grasp for a newbie. The best advise I can give you is to invest in one or more book on the subject:
[oreilly.com...]
[oreilly.com...]
[oreilly.com...]

Then, when you have found your two list, it ought to be possible for you to even automate the sending of emails by scripting Mail.

I'm not at present so versed in AppleScript that I'm able to advise you any further. For further help, I'll recommend searching amongst the resources on this page: [apple.com...]
