Hello,
You know, if there was a pocket excel program in the braillenote
you wouldn't have to go through all of this to get a file from
excel imported into the braillenote.
To get all of the fields corectly, it takes some work, and this
shouldn't be.
Just my two cents.

Hi Malaina,
I tried to write you off list, but my message was bounced. Your
e-mail service is using qmail to filter their e-mails, which
makes
lots of mistakes according to spamcop.net.
I'll put the bounced message below my answer to your question.
Hi,
First, figure out the column headings from your excel
spreadsheet.
Second, create a database with fields with the same names as your
column headings.
Now, at the database menu for that database, hit import file.
Point it to your CSV file.
If you've done any thing like this in Excel, the steps are pretty
similar.
It should ask you if the first row contains field names, hit y.
Then, if they all match, you should be able to basically take the
defaults from there.
If they don't all match, then say yes to review the field
mapping, or
whatever it says.
Then, you can assign the fields of your CSV files to the ones in
your
database that you may have mis-typed, etc.
It may take some trial and error. It did for me.
I hope this is enough to get you going.
It is a nice feature, but I wish they could make KeyBase just
create
the database with the same field names as what are in the CSV
file.
Let me know if it works or if I can make anything more clear.
Richard
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail32.opentransfer.com.

This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work
