Import/Export Proble. Urgent

[Guest]

Hi Everyone,

I have been asked to export a list from my database, which will later be
imported into ACT! (version 6.0 I think). I have exported the requested list
into a DIF format, which is the only format that I can export to. The
address field is called Full Address and looks something like this
Address1
Address2
City
Post Code
Country

The whole address is exported into once cell and at the end of each line
there is a square, which I assume marks new line.

To import into ACT! we need to have the full address separeated line by
line. For example Address1, Address2 and so on. Each line of the address
into its own cell on the same row.

Is there anyway we can achieve this using Excel or any other tools? I have
Excel 2000 and 2003.

Please let me know as soon as you can.

Andy

Try File-->Save as, CSV. I would think ACT! can import it...
I've never even heard of DIF format.
And it also depends how your data is now. If it's all in once cell, then
you're in trouble. Perhaps someone has a macro you can use to separate it
out.
