Hello Carey,
On my older computer there was an accessory titled cardfile. I am getting my son a computer with the newest version of windows, which doesn't carry cardfile. I have a lot of info stored on this program and I have tried to copy this to a diskette, but, it comes up in a different format. Could you help.
Thanks,
Linda Gonzales
Hi Linda,
Im told Sidekick 97 is capable of import/export of Windows .crd files, DBase .dbf files, Paradox .db, comma-delimited .csv text files, tab-delimited text, among others. It also has a query function, allowing you to select fields for new files and/or export.
This is in addition to other neat PIM functons like form letters, labels, calendar, phone dialer and notepad. Very intuitive and nice-looking interface. Right button support. All for about $50. You can download the trial here: http://www.web-ee.com/Downloads/Pim/pim.htm
Yours,
Carey
