Converting Data from Other Programs

Some organizations may have been using other programs to track their donations, either general-purpose database programs or commercial donations programs. DONATION currently has three different features available for importing existing data from other arbitrary programs. The first imports only Donor information from variously formatted text or Dbase files, the second imports Donation information from specially-formatted text files, and the third can import Organization Info, Donors, Donations, Donation Categories and Receipts from specially-formatted text files.

Some users who are converting from another program either will not choose to import the data for it, or will not be able to. In that case, to avoid too much re-typing of data, you would be advised to start using DONATION as close to the beginning of a new year as possible.
