Convert XCEL(or Works) spreadsheet to ACT! database??

[Capn Sunshine]

Is this possible? It seems like it would be, but damned if I can figure it out.

1. Doesn't ACT understand CSV? Try this....

CSV stands for Comma Separated Values, sometimes also called Comma Delimited. A CSV file is a specially formatted plain text file which stores spreadsheet or basic database-style information in a very simple format, with one record on each line, and each field within that record separated by a comma. It's important that the individual "records" within a CSV file NOT contain commas, as this may break the simple formatting when using the file in another application.

CSV files are often used as a simple way to transfer a large volume of spreadsheet or database information between programs, without worring about special file types. For example, transferring a home-made address book from Excel into a database program such as Filemaker Pro could be done by exporting the file as a CSV from Excel, then importing that CSV into Filemaker.

Creating a CSV file from spreadsheet data is very simple to do using Microsoft Excel.

2. Thanks for this, it may be the answer

I think all I have to do is convert the Works spreadsheet back to Excel, and do it from there?

Stay Tuned.
