[pianotech] Database for Piano Business

[David Ilvedson]

Ron,

I'm "pretty sure" T&C can import comma delimited files, but I've got a question in the T&C support.  I'll let you know.   You can go to www.chaossoftware.com  and download a complete running program to try.   Try importing your files and see what happens.
