Storing Information

I'm struggling now, this week i got a shareware copy of Custodian 3, oh dear, version2 seems to be far more versitile and easy to use. Any comments or suggestions as to why I should pay another £25 for v3?

I've been away on an extended Ancestor Hunt and am just catching up on my mail. I'm very interested in Custodian - looks just what I need to catalogue all of my source material.
However I couldn't find any mention on the Custodian site re importing lots of data that I already have - say from an Excel file.
Does anyone have any advice on this?

Thanks
Alison

Alison,

though I'm still floundering, both versions 2 and three seem capable of importing data from Excel. There seems to be a plethora of shareware CD's in FH magazines at the moment, probably worth looking at!

Rod, does this look like a candidate for a seprerate forum?

I seem to remember on the Custoidan mailing list, mention of the fact that Excel spreadsheets need to be formatted to text to import into Custodian. My memory may be failing though and it might be worth checking the mailing list archives.
