<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone-<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a (somewhat paranoid) question for the many of you who have already experienced the lovely joys of migrating or importing legacy accession records. I’m wondering whether anyone has had an issue importing legacy data when there were
existing accession records in the application. We intend to start creating new accession records while simultaneously planning the “fun” task of importing our legacy records (which will require the manipulation of 3 data sets: spreadsheets, a legacy access
database, and Word docs--Yip), and I just want to make sure that having existing records won’t muck anything up when we finally import the legacy stuff (presuming that that data is clean as a whistle ;).
