>we have about a 5,000 item database in Access. will we be able to import >our old database into a new ebase database? Yes, you certainly can. You will export your data from the Access database into a delimited text file, then use the ebase import routine (which you start from the Admin screen 2) to import the data. Assuming you have payment data as well as contact info, you'll do it in two steps. First export all the contact info, name address, email, phone numbers, etc, that you want to transfer. Be sure you include a unique record number. Second, export the payment information, amount, date, purpose, etc.. Include the same record number, so ebase knows how to attribute the payment to the correct individual. Review the section of the ebase admin manual for details on how to figure out what piece of data goes into which ebase field. > >------------------ >Reminder to each recipient: To change your list account preferences, go to >http://email.sparklist.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=support and enter >the email address you used to subscribe to the ebase support list:: >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >--------------------------------------------------------------------- > ebase - Relationship Management for Nonprofits, http://www.ebase.org >--------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Dave Shaw Northwest Classics, Inc tel: 206-954-7526 fax: 206-625-1338 ------------------ Reminder to each recipient: To change your list account preferences, go to http://email.sparklist.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=support and enter the email address you used to subscribe to the ebase support list:: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ebase - Relationship Management for Nonprofits, http://www.ebase.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------
