XML sounds the best way to go. You'll need to write a little "translator" program for each Agent so you can get the data to your site in a consistent format. Doesn't sound like a fun task, but definitely doable. I'm currently setting up a similar thing - but am leaving that part until last

Cheers,
Nigel
