i2-Services, Inc. Forums - Importing existing records into database

Hi

I am a new user of the Mailing List Manager. I love it so far, but I have a question regarding the importing of an existing database of e-mail subscribers accumulated over the years. I would like to import this informationw ithout having to type them in manually one-byone in the control panel. Is there away to do this? Please provide instructions on how to perform this task. I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Michael

I believe your Mailing List License is with the CGI version, not PHP.

The PHP Version has its own import tool.

The CGI version you will need to populate the database it uses directly, using the format it holds its data in.

Which can be viewed by downloading and viewing the

/prog_files/accounts.dat.cgi file.

I'll respond to your ticket as well.

Thanks

I appreciate your response to my question eventhough it was not correct form. I found the file on the remote server. I will test it. I appreciate your quick response on this. Thanks again
