InDesign 2 - Soon to be CS

Have just started with InDesign. I'm working on a school yearbook using inDesign CS (well, 2, but have ordered upgrade). Anyhow, I have all the students' pictures as tiff files ... filenames are their student numbers (this is the format we receive from our school photo company). I can use our school management software to generate a tab delimited file that gives me the student number and the student name for all of the students.

Is there any way that I can use the tab delimited file (or an Excel File using the data) to automatically enter captions (the students' names) for the images in the layout based on their file name (student number)?

First tried to do this with Photoshop 6, no luck, hoping that there is some solution out there that will save a lot of tedious work and prevent inevitable errors.

Cheers

Doug
