After almost 20 years of using PowerChurch, we are switching to a new Church Management system.

I need to know how to export all the info in PowerChurch to .csv files so they can import it into the new system.

I exported the family info and the individual info, but cannot figure out how to export all the giving info.
The only exports they seem to have are for envelope companies?!?!

Tried to read the DBF files, but Foxpro hasn't been used in general use for 20 years and am having a hard time finding a program to convert them over.

Any ideas?

There's no easy way to do it from within the program, outside of creating custom reports, however, when doing that you'd have to select the data into the import format, as well as determine what the key would be to use that data.

V11.x has the option to export the database to Access tables, from which you can then export easier. I'm surprised that the company that makes the program you're going to be using do not have a conversion service like Powerchurch does.

May I ask, why are you moving from Powerchurch ??
