I am starting to learn eBase today. Given that I have NO database experience, I thought I would ask an entry-level question while starting.
Welcome - that's what this list is all about...
I have eBase 2.0 and have printed out the tutorial for 1.03, since I can't find one for 2.0. Is there anything else I need to grab or find or watch for to ease my learning curve?
Version 2 is a completely different model from version 1. The
version 1 tutorial won't be of any use to you in learning version 2.
And as Walt said, version 2 won't be released for another couple of
weeks.
We (Phoenix5) are very small and exist now only through a Web presence with no employees. I (as Webmaster) am the only real volunteer (full-time - I created it two years ago.). My need is that I have a number of Eudora addressbooks I want to put on a database. One is for maybe 100 contributors and the rest are for various functions, such as update notices or fundraising to a few hundred people who have been in touch with us. So my needs are pretty simple. I mainly want to just get the mailing lists sorted/integrated while designating which are contributors and which are not and what their status is, e.g., they were sent literature.
It's not going to be easy to get your Eudora address books into
ebase. This info is kept in a text file named Eudora Nicknames.
Here's what my entry looks like.

then later the address info

I'm not sure how one would tackle importing it. You're probably
looking at keyboarding it into ebase.
