Problem with importing emails and serials

Hi,

I want to write a newsletter to our customers which includes a coupon serial number.
I now have an xls file which keeps all the email addresses in one row and all the according serials in another row.
In Max Bulk I want the serials to be interpretated as "opt1" and the emails as "emails".

I'm now working since 5 hours on this problem and don't find the soultion.
Please tell me the one detail I have overseen.

Kind regards,

wenzel

First save your Excel sheet as a plain text file as explained here then import it as explained here. Be careful to line-up your file fields with MaxBulk Mailer field properly, this is where most users make mistakes.

Hi,
thanks for the answer.
You can not imagine what I tried to make it work... I also tried the way you suggested, exporting it to plain text, made sure that serials and emails are seperated by TAB and imported them. For some reason he only imported 10% of the email addressess....

However,
IMPORTING FROM CLIPBOARD WORKED!!!!!
YEAH!!!

Thank you :)

I just copied both rows from my *.XLS file and imoprted them from clipboard.
Only sad thing, the serials are now tagged as "last name". But I don't worry about that.

THANKS!!!!!

Edit:
The first try Bulkmailer crashed.
The second try it worked.
If you are interested I would like to send you the crash report, couldn't attach it to this post. Your system does not allow *.rtf or *.txt files

Ae you sure this is the right log? I don't see any MaxBulk Mailer trace, only Apple stuff :-/
