To prevent you from adding the same contact twice, TntMPD will automatically compare new contacts with your existing list anytime you add a contact, no matter how it is added.

TntMPD will seek to match any new contact with an existing contact who has the same name. For downloaded gifts, TntMPD will look for last name matches. For all other methods, TntMPD will try to match first and last names.
Confirm Match Dialog
When TntMPD sees a contact it suspects might be a duplicate, it brings up a dialog box to match the new contact to one already in your database.
Cancel
|
Ignores the match and returns you to the previous screen.
|
No Match
|
Adds this contact as a new contact. (Note: If you are downloading gifts or addresses, TntMPD will first guess at the match, then after you press No Match, offer a list of all contacts for you to select a match. You can press No Match again to continue.)
|
Yes
|
Confirms the match and does not add a new contact. TntMPD will offer to update the contact's name and address info. In other words, TntMPD will replace any contact information that is replaced. (For example, if the new information has five fields, only those five fields will be updated; other fields in the existing contact will remain as they were.)
Dialog Box: Would you like to update the name and address info for [contact]?

Continue importing. TntMPD will save this duplicate entry as a text file for you to review later.
