Ok, This is a follow up to my Migrating nightmares. First off, I must say that I am EXTREMELY disappointed in the Importing capabilities of The Bat! Even as painful as it is, I still registered it.
Now back to the issue at hand... In order to import from Outlook, here is what I had to do. 1) Export my contacts from outlook to a CSV file. 2) Edit the CSV file and change all the titles to match those expected by The Bat! If you try and MAP the fields in the import dialog those fields will be excluded in the import! This was the biggest problem out of them all and I didn't figure that out until the end. VERY Frustrating. Once I was done with that I also went through and removed any extra carriage returns that a row into multiple lines. I also deleted any extra columns that I didn't want or have data in. After all that, I finally have all my contacts in The Bat!. I would bet money that people have evaluated The Bat! and found it too complicated to switch that they have stuck with what they are using. This is a shame considering that even with these problems, The Bat! is an excellent product. Now I'm going to go play some video games to cool down.... -- Brien King [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the Arcade Restoration Workshop @ http://www.arcaderestoration.com Home of Cart Commander, the Ultimate Cartridge Cataloging Utility! ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
