FAQ

When I import my ASCII file into a dbase header, the data looks split between the fields?

When you import the data into a dbase header, both structures must match exactly, otherwise MAILERS+4 fills the field with data and uses any leftover data in the next field.

If you use the same file structure repeatedly, you can simply copy the dbase structure of an existing file to a new, empty header. This way, you will only have to create a header to import your ascii text file, one time.
