Another handy data conversion tool is FileTrack from Outlook Computing.  We have
used this on many BPCS implementation and upgrade projects.

John,

Thanks for that information. I would assume, given the length of time BPCS
has been around, that there may be quite a number of fields that are in BPCS
and not in Macola, as you have indicated.

I'll be sure to check out iWork's product information (I found them at
http://www.iworksoftware.com/pages/3rdtier/xchn_set.html).
