Title: Re: [support] Set UP
|
It is
almost for sure that you will be able to import your mailing list data no matter
what program is currently maintaining it. You may need to hire a consultant if
it one that is really hard. Look at the program and see what it offers in the
way of exporting data. The hard cases are those which have no way of exporting -
they need someone who can write a program to extract the
data.
Obviously, manual ledger data will have to be entered by keyboarding.
eBase is quite good at entering this sort of stuff so if you have 100s to 1000s
of entries you should be able to do that fairly quickly. If you have 10,000s or
up, you might consider hiring a data entry temp.
In the past we have kept a manual ledger of the
contributions and all we have is a mailing list of the members. I'm
not sure what program is being used for the mailing list. Can we merge
that data with ebase?

Subject: [support] Re: Set UP
We are getting ready
to enter all of our membership information for the past three years into
ebase. Do you have any advice for us? Pitfalls to
avoid?
read the manuals
back up regularly
seriously, is it necessary to enter (by which I presume you mean
keyboard) all the data? do you have it in some electronic form that could be
imported?
