You might want to check out the Downloads section.  Somebody posted a tool for converting from DM to TntMPD.

Is there a master list of database fields to input into available online?  I'd like to figure out what data I can import from my excel database ahead of time.

How do I directly import my information from Access where I have kept my own database? Do I first have to export everything from Access as a csv then import the csv? I assumed the "link to Access" tool is what was used for this, but evidently not.

The "Link To Access" tool makes TntMPD tables available (as linked tables) in the Access database of your choice.  Then, it's up to you what you do with that in Access.  If you're good w/ databases, you could probably transfer data from your old database that way.  Otherwise, you'll have to export your contact information from your old Access database to a CSV file, and TntMPD can import contacts from that CSV file.

Hi Troy, I am new to Tnt and am having some trouble transferring my names and addresses into Tnt from MS Excel. Could you give some directions as to how to this? Thanks. - Drew

Drew, this FAQ article is the best source of information on the topic.  In Excel, be sure to "Save As" to save to a CSV file so that TntMPD can import from it.

How do I import email contacts from a separate email acct?  How do I send 'enewsletters' to groups or all contacts?

By: Troy Wolbrink Posted on 7 Jul 2011 5:36 AM

@AlanandJudy, these are good questions.  Might be a good idea to discuss this on the forums area of this website.

can I import directly from Excel to TNT?

By: Troy Wolbrink Posted on 21 Oct 2011 3:37 AM

TntMPD can only import from CSV.   From Excel, you can [File \ Save As] to save your Excel spreadsheet as a CSV file.
