Thanks, Chris.

This is going to be a one-time migration for a customer who prints out 
monthly invoices for a recurring service. I would like to transfer from 
their current system basic customer data, current balances and, if possible, 
the recurring invoices. 

I was thinking that it would be prudent to try doing that via the code 
rather than directly accessing the raw tables, hopefully, to allow the 
system to point to any missing and necessary data.
