What is the best way to manipulate the CID data?
A. The best way to use the data is with a relational database management program such as Microsoft Access, FileMaker Pro or similar programs. These programs allow you to input the data and manipulate and sort it using multiple parameters. They also allow you to make templates for labels, envelopes and the ability to integrate the data into marketing letters, post cards, mailers etc. The next in the hierarchy of flexibility are contact management programs. Next is Microsoft Excel, a spread sheet program that allows you to sort data on three selected parameters. Proficient users can easily make labels. Finally, the bottom of the rung of flexibility are word processing programs.We provide instructions for importing our data into Microsoft Access on the CD.
