Hi,

What I thought would work did not work.  First I tried:
import dif data=c:\appl\mac_email_address\emailadd.csv
This produced an error message that the file was not a valid dif file.

Then I tried:  import word data=c:\appl\mac_email_address_emailadd.csv
It did not fail, but I could not read anything.

A few days ago I created a program that would export a csv file, consisting
of the last name, the first name and the email addresses of over 500 members
of our reunion group.  That was easy as there is advise on the fpteck site
about creating a program that exports a csv file.

Can someone point me to where I can read about importing a csv file that
provides more information then that given in the filepro manual?

Harold

Harold,

I'll do a "Ken", define not working.

Is the path to the file correct?
Is it a comma delimited file?
