That is a very good news, I am using ToMarket myself but it lacks a lot of
features that HS has. Now I would love to try this new app but how do I
convert the HS or better the ToMarket database to xml? I have not found any
way in HS or in HSUtilities, it just exports to notepad, and ToMarket only
in csv.

 

Hope some merciful soul can guide me through this.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Claudio

I see that one can convert their HS lists to XML and then import to 
AndShoBBer. What, if any, data loss is there after the import process?
I look forward to trying this out myself when I have some more time this 
weekend.
Until then, you can look forward to many questions about your software 
and help using it via this forum.
This one is on the edge of HandyShopper compatability, since although it 
does require export/import like other apps, rather than being able to 
open HS databases outright, the process does seem at least a bit more 
direct, and /hopefully/ lossless. As such, I won't be all "on topic 
nazi" when it comes to this app.
Let's see where this takes us. :)
