How do I...? > Importing members' names

The users of Version 7 of the scorer normally import the names from their version 7 using the [Import] version 7 option. Where you are not a user of Version 7 it is still possible to use the same option to import the names and addresses of your members from another external source.

All you need to do is produce a comma delimited file using the database manager of your existing master file. Then reorganise your data in the format that is required for the Version 7 import.

The following are a list of the fields in the ASE V7 "Save" file of members.

Each field is separated by a comma.

The only required field is the surname.

If there exists a comma in a field then it should be surrounded by a double quote ".

Commas are required for all missing fields.
