When you first install TntMPD, you are prompted to:
1.Create your first database
2.Add your name
3.Download addresses or gifts from your organization
If you already have an existing database, you may find it helpful (and time saving) to import your contact information. However, don't wait on that step. Go ahead and create and database, and if your organization supports address and gift download, do that too. You can always create a new database and start over after giving TntMPD a test-drive.
