Hello,

At some stage in our company's history someone decided that we should add two user-defined fields containing a contact's physical address (instead of just using the address1 and address2 fields contained in Max). Reason unknown. Instead, those two fields now contain ony postal addresses.

How do I go about moving the address information now stored in the user-defined fields back into the proper fields in Max? If I was able to open the Maximizer database in something like MS Access then I guess this would be relatively simple. Is there any way of achieving this?

Much appreciated.

Maximizer ships with an ODBC driver that you can use. Recent versions of Maximizer have included two versions of the ODBC driver: an Indexed version for normal use and a NonIndexed version for use with Microsoft Access. Check the Maximizer Release Notes for details.

Additional notes:

- AFAIK the current (v9.x) NonIndexed versions of ODBC will work with Access_2003 but not with Access_2000. Dunno about Access_2002 or Access_2007.

- The Maximizer table structures and relationships are rather complex. There is some documentation on the table structures in the User's Guide to support custom reporting, but it is a subset of the full database documentation. The full documentation is in the Customization Suite, which can be purchased separately.

- Be aware that some tables in Maximizer ODBC are read-only. For example: the "Client" table is read-only, but the "Company", "People" and "Address" tables are not.
