Actually, you don't need to import into "Is Organization".  TntMPD will determine that if the "Organization Name" is entered and the individual name fields are blank (or vice versa).

If your import file has an "Organization Name" field, then it must also have an "Is Organization" field with a TRUE/FALSE value for every entry. If it's TRUE, then there must also be a name in the Organization Name cell in that row. If it is FALSE, then there cannot be anything in the Organization Name cell in that row.

@Linnea, this might be because you are importing into the "Organization Name" field or you might be importing into "Is Organization" with something other than "False".

I am trying to import contacts and I have a first and last name entered for each contact.  Why am I still getting this error?

If you have a first name for the spouse, you must also have a first name for the primary (typically the husband). TntMPD will not let you leave the primary name blank but enter a spouse first name. This is due to the problems creating automatic greetings and names.

In a case where you do not know the husband's name, you could do one of the following:

Put "Mr" and "Mrs" (or the appropriate titles for your culture) with no first names

OR, Put the wife's name as the primary contact and have no husband's name.
