If you add an address, you'll see the title in the address block under the "Address" tab.

When I put a new contact into TNT I put a Title of "Dr & Mrs" but it doesn't show up anywhere else. I expected it would show up in the address box or at least as one of the greetings. What am I missing?

When you download donors from your organization, you should have been prompted to match them to your existing contacts in TntConnect. That way you wouldn't end up with duplicates. To merge two duplicates: www.tntware.com/.../how-can-i-merge-combine-two-contacts-into-one.aspx

I downloaded contacts from my organization but some of the info is not the same as the same contacts that I put into Tnt. How do I handle merging two contacts? Also, in the future as I update the information, how do I handle this so the right information will stay in tact?

Can you combine contacts? I have an excel sheet that has the husband and wife entered in separate rows.

Sounds like you imported into the "Home Address Is Deliverable" field and marked it "False". You can manually fix this by checking the "Deliverable" box above the address. Or do a Group Actions | Mass Change a Field do set "Home Address is Deliverable" to True for all contacts in the current group/lookup.

Make sure you map your first name to "First/Given Name" and last name to "Last/Family Name" ... unless it's an organization, then just map the organization name to the "Organization Name" field. Individual and organization names can't mix.

I converted my mac address book VCS file to CSV, but I am having similar problems trying to import it into tntMPD. How do I do this?

This request (seeking a solution for a specific issue) is probably more best answered from the Forum. In my experience, this error usually occurs when incompatible fields are being entered. For example, if the name of an organization is being entered, it cannot have a person's name associated with it AND the "Is Organization" field must also be imported. These (and many others) are import nuances that are overcome with experience. If you are still having problems with this, send your request to the Forum directly to get more immediate help (only subscribers to feeds on the Guides will see this comment).

I'm having the problem danielandmarie mention above but haven't been able to figure it out. No answer was ever. posted. The comment is " when I try to export it, I get this error message for every name: "A first, last or organization name must be entered for this contact. Do you want to continue? If you choose to continue, this record will be saved for future attempts?" If I hit "yes" it just scrolls to my next contact. All my contacts have first and last names, so I don't know why the error message comes up."

Unfortunately, that feature is not available (yet). When TntMPD was first written, mobile phones were only just becoming common--and home phones were still almost universal. So the "hard coded to home phone" reflects that history. Perhaps a future release may include that flexbility (click on the Suggestions link and give that idea:).

Almost every time I add a new contact I only have a cell phone number, but when I add the phone number through the "New Contact..." button the default label is "Home". Can I make it to where "Mobile" is the default label for new contact phone numbers?
