Hi Everyone, Would someone please tell me if I can print magnet sheets (A4 or approximate) on a HP Laserjet 1200 laser printer. Alternatively, is it possible to print clear adhesive sheets of some decription. I'd use these to print name tags and stick them on the magnetic sheet if I can't print...

Hi jmgalvin, That's actually what I was hoping to do but due to inexperience it didn't quite work out that way so I had to tackle it from another angle. I experimented a bit with a few things but when I saved it as a .tiff file the quality was very poor. When I saved it as a .psd file, the...

Hi JeanW, Thanks once again for a top reply. I told you I didn't know much about this. :-)) I'm starting to get the idea now. I want to try and put the records into ACT! and it looks like the file type I want is .dbf, but I'll have to confirm that before I start. I'll follow your advice and...

Hi JeanW, Thanks for the reply. As you can probably tell, I don't know much about this. I just need to clarify a few points if that's ok. The program that I'm currently using was written with FileMaker Pro and the file(s) I wish to extract/export to another program have the file extention .usr...
