In need of a small Utility program that can scan and extract or convert the contact info from a .DAT file to a more popular format, such as text, comma delimited, (csv), etc.
The .DAT file is created by a tax program (taxact) and contains hundreds of records.
The data extracted will then should propagate into a grided window with the proper fields to display the records.
I assume this should be done via an import of the file extracted in .cvs from the .DAT file.
Once the data is imported to this utility, I need to be able to manipulate these records, such as to Edit and Modify, Delete Duplicates and ultimately to print these records to labels for postcards, envelopes, etc.
Detailed info is in the document attached.
Please review it and let me know if you can do it in 5 business days, time is very important as I need to run labels from these records early next month.
The .DAT file attached only contains records from 3 clients and is only a SAMPLE for you to see the file you will be having to extract/convert the data from. Obviously this Utility should be able to extract the info (name, address, city, state, etc.) from unlimited records contained in one .DAT file, maybe a MACRO is needed to get this done.
