This article was previously published under Q181886



SYMPTOMS
When you use the "Save results to a new file" option, Direct Mail Manager may save the address list as an Microsoft Access .mdb file.



CAUSE
This functionality is by design. When you use the "Save results to a new file" option, Direct Mail Manager cannot save to the following file types:
 * Microsoft Word Document (*.doc)
 * Paradox 5.x Database (*.db, *.dbc)
 * Outlook Folder



MORE INFORMATION
When you use the "Save results to a new file" option and the file type of your address list is not supported, Direct Mail Manager will suggest a new file name of .mdb and will use the "Microsoft Access Database (*.mdb, *.mdw, *.mda)" converter to save the file.

NOTE: You can type a new file name and change the Save As Type to a different file format. The following are supported file formats that Direct Mail Manager will save to:


 * Microsoft Access Database (*.mdb, *.mdw, *.mda)
 * dBase III, IV File (*.dbf)
 * Microsoft Excel Worksheet (*.xls)
 * Microsoft FoxPro File (*.dbf, *.dbc)
 * Text File (*.txt, *.csv, *.tab, *.asc)

Additional query words: dmm export saveas
