I have purchased and downloaded Clements 2008 list.  I used Winzip to unzip the file.  I believe that the unzipped file was put in an excel file, which you warned against!  However being the software genus that I am I have not been able to change the file to anohter format and hence I have not been able to download the list.  Can you help me resolve this?

Regards,

John E. Tyler

Hello John,

Just because the unzipped CSV file shows as an Excel file in Windows Explorer does not pose a problem.

The point is that you extract the CSV file from the ZIP file onto disk and do not open it with Excel. That is all. Because, opening it with Excel and then saving it again, destroys the format.

Once you have Extracted the CSV file, simply complete the import instructions using Diary.

Let me know if this doesn't get you going.

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

I've encountered the exact same problem, except as far as I know I did not open it (saved it to disk during extraction) and I still haven't been able to import it into birder's diary via the instructions provided.

Please let me know if you were able to resolve your problem and if so, what steps you followed.

Thanks in advance,

Jennifer

oops, John, I meant to address that to you as I believe Jeff is off on a jaunt through the mountains.
