Previously after a seminar with Andrew I had asked how to update the active status of multiple vendors. His response was to "drop a smart list into Excel and then import using (File/Import/Vendor/Excel) and "Update records" - selecting Vendor# & Name and where active = false. This has worked in the past. I have recently tried to do this again but do not see the option "Update Records" but rather "Overwrite" or "Add New". Did something change in the new release?

I don't remember if it was called something else before but the option to "Overwrite" is the one that will update existing records.

Be sure to always backup before importing...

Good luck, Pete

It's always been called "Overwrite", although I agree that "Update existing" might be clearer.
