|
|
I wonder if any of you very experienced computer gurus can help me.
I have over 600 addresses on an old windows program called 'Cardfile'. (remember it?)
I would like to export them to another program which can sort them into postcode areas and then seperate them into different lists, and then print the addresses onto labels.
Anyone know of progs which can do that? Cheap, shareware or freeware would be nice.
Thanks. |

Instructions directly from MS on how to import your cardfile files into Outlook.

I can't find any freeware, but AZZ Cardfile offers a trial that might be fully functional, so you could try that to convert the database.

Thanks doc. Unfortunately, my import engine is not installed in Outlook, and I can't find the disc. (pathetic I know).
I tried AZZ, that doesn't do what I want. I've tried about half a dozen so far. |

That will convert to HTML, from which you should be able to do nearly anything - for example, save as text files to feed to some other software like a spreadsheet or database. |
