Importing from Outlook 2007
Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 6:18 am
When I started using Donor Manager a few years ago, I exported my contacts from Outlook 2003 into Donor Manager without any problems. Last week I was working with a colleague who uses Outlook 2007 (which I now use also).
We tried the Excel export from Outlook (saved as 97-2003 version), but there are too many fields in the import and many of them do not show up on the match fields screen in the Donor Manager import. Email address is not one of the fields shown in the list of 30 fields available to be matched.
We tried opening the Excel file then deleting some of the columns not required, then saving it again as 97-2003 version. When we tried to import this file into Donor Manager, a Windows message was displayed indicating an Application Crash and Donor Manager needs to be closed.
In Outlook 2007, there is not an option to export into the DBase format (DBF). Donor Manager will not import files in MS Access 97-2003 format (MDB), displaying an error telling the user to export the data from Outlook in FoxPro format (which is not possible in Outlook 2007)
I tried exporting from Outlook in Access 2003 format then trying to convert it to DBase format, but an error message is received in Access: "Cannot define field more than once".
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution?
