We do get quite a few requests for this. It is something we have been looking at, but to develop it in such a way that it will work with as many possible data sources, and making it work with the three different versions of Cartweaver and the three different databases the various versions support, well needless to say the import plug in could end up costing nearly as much as Cartweaver itself. We just don’t know if this is something folks would be willing to pay for. So, were on the fence with this one.
What many do is use MS Access’ import features to bring in as much of the data as possible. Of course you’d have to import the data in proper order due to referential integrity constraints – Products first then SKUs and so forth, and there’s bound to be some tweaking necessary but the vast majority of data can be brought in this way. Then when you’re done and have tested the data to be sure everything is in order and working you can “Up size” your database to MS SQL server or MySQL is you plan to use one of these. It may take a little trial and error to initially get the procedure down, but once you have it figured it can be a pretty fast straight forward process.
