Thanks for the replies. I'm about at just moving on to another program.
I will look at Breeder's Assistant. Has anyone used ZooEasy or Canine Management Software?

We lost an employee and then had a death in the family. Please accept our apologies for service delays. We are getting on top of it now.

I have sent numerous (5) emails trying to get information from your company & no one is getting back to me. I need help with my registration key as it is not working on my new computer! Ihave been a customer since 2008 and do not want to lose my data. I am very frustrated!

I have replied to your post. I am having a medical condition myself and I am going back in hospital shortly to address it. I am sorry.

John, you always have an excuse, even several years after you screwed me. I'm sorry you are having medical issues, but if you are offering a product to the public you need to have adequate customer care - hire more people, in other words, or get out of the business.

I like the "Breed Mate" software from Australia. You can find online and I have never had a problem getting assistance.

I also lost TBS in my crash. I've been using this software since 2003, and while it did have it's problems, Kathi was always there to help get things up and running again. I hear that she has left.

I think I did manage to save my data base of dogs, but am wondering if anyone else has had any success in transferring their data bases from TBS into another program?

Also, when I began with TBS, another breeder was offering their own extensive data base to import into the program... is anyone else still doing that? I cannot even imagine having to input ALL of those dogs in again manually.

Do any of the techies out there have an answer?? I hope ;-)

When I started using Breeder's Assistant, my old database (over 20,000 dogs) had been saved in comma-delimited form and the company helped me import the database. Worked very well and have been happy with it for the past 5 years or so.

John did respond to one of my inquiries before he went into surgery, which helped. I am still waiting to hear about the pedigree software now.

I am not familiar with the software, but if it has an export function, the data can then be re-formatted (through data mapping) to upload into any software that has an import function (and some that don't, depending on the underlying data structure).
I have done a considerable amount of data mapping and would be happy to help anyone out, once I can lift my laptop again.
This is not an advertisement, I'm not seeking any payment. It sounds like the kind of thing I enjoy doing.
