Comments: How do I import contacts from my previous database?

Just click "Close" to not accept new information.  Only by clicking "Accept" are you accepting new info.

I am trying to import my contacts from the excel cvc file, but once I get to the import screen, it says.... Error, a first, last, or organization name must be entered for this contact". That information is entered....??

Make sure you're mapping field from your CSV file to "First/Given Name" and "Last/Family Name" and/or "Organization Name".  Every contact you import must have a name.

I am very new at this and I am also having an issue importing data. The blue ringed fields in Figure 4 are not populating with any information from my .csv from MPDx. I have an inkling that something is not working correctly.

@Ageraci14, please post your question on the forums.  They are actively monitored, and the forums provide a lot more space for facilitating tech support.  Sorry we just saw this now!

I am migrating back to TntConnect from MPDx.org. They have provided an exported file of my data but it is an xml file. I don't see that as an option for import to TntConnect.

Parallel question, I still have my old TntConnect database from several years ago when I used to use TntConnect before switching to MPDx. Is it safe to import into this database as a way to update everything from several years ago?  Or should I start from scratch and create a new database?

@Rk4nomads, TntConnect 4.0.57 has an MPDX Importer feature.  www.tntware.com/.../mpdx-importer-tntconnect-4-0-r57.aspx  This feature creates a brand new database.  It doesn't import into an existing database.  It takes pretty much everything that you had in MPDX, so there's really no value in your old database (that you presumably imported into MPDX years ago).

How do you import contacts from TnTMPD  on one computer to another?

I have a new request: how to import all my donors information, including giving into Donor Manager data intoTNT?  I want to beginning using TNT instead.

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.
