Hi
Does anyone know how I can transfer all of my customers from george to a spreadsheet?
Would like to do it easy rather than indiviually typing it them all out...
Many thanks

I don't have George but below is a fairly generic way of doing things which may vary a bit from one spreadsheet to another.
FIRST OF ALL, SAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR GEORGE DATA IN CASE IT ALL GOES PEAR SHAPED. Look in George for an option to "export as .csv" (or similar wording). This will give you a text file with fields separated by commas. I understand that George can do this.
Then open up a blank spreadsheet of your chosen software and in the help files, look for how to import .csv files (I don't think MSWorks can import these - only export I think). However, many spreadsheets, such as the free one supplied with openoffice can import .csv files. This can be a bit daunting if someone hasn't had much experience with such data manipulation. Also bear in mind that .csv is just raw text so you will have to set the spreadsheet up telling it which cells are numbers, money, text, formulae etc (after the data transfer has been succesfully made so that you can see what goes where).
This is one reason why I avoided WCPro. It doesn't export data as .csv. In other words, if you chasnge your mind about using it, it's highly likely you would have to re-enter all the data manually.
