Christian,

What fields are the programmers wanting?

A very very BASIC scenario:
1. Map data from RE to the New System (NS)
2. Create a constituent export & export to access.
2.A Clean any data Mr. vs Mister vs Mr
3. Import Constituent data to NS.

Do this for each record type you have. Also, how does the new system handle relationships, soft credits etc? The answers to those questions would drive how you export the data as linking id's become very critical thing.

If you do use Access to clean up the data, it's easy to export the tables into excel.

email, post or PM if you need.

Good Luck!
Elaine
