Export to CSV
You can export the format that you have entered into a clean CSV file. This file can be used by TAD to import and apply into your Vista database. The entire process requires zero data entry which eliminates potential errors.
The file also contains SQL UPDATE statements for each datatype so you can run it directly in SQL Server Management Studio.
Note: Once formats are applied, any changes could require converting data, which is a billable service.

You assume responsibility for applying the format correctly into the SQL Server database.
