Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get technical support?
Select Email Elwood Software from the Help Menu or send an email to support@ElwoodSoftware.com with your questions and concerns. We will call you if you email us a phone number and time to call.
How many names can I add?
There is no limit to the number of names you can add to the address book.
Is there help for the different areas of the program?
Press F1 anywhere in the program to show specific help for the current window or select from the Help Menu for other topics.
How do I remove the sample information in the program?
Select Deleting Sample Data from the Help Menu for the steps needed.
How often should I backup my database?
VERY OFTEN because it's easy to do and will protect the changes you made since your last backup. Select Back Up Database from the File Menu to make a backup. It's a good idea to back up your database to your hard drive and an external storage device like a Flash Drive. Backing up to a Flash Drive is one way to protect your database from a hard drive crash. To restore from a backup, select Restore Database from the File Menu. You can also backup the pictures in the EZ Pictures Directory by selecting Back Up Pictures from the File Menu.
Can I have more than one database?
Yes. Choose Select Database from the File Menu to add any number of databases. You could use one database for home and one for business. You can Add, Copy, Rename and Delete databases. However, the EZHO.mdb database that comes with the program cannot be renamed or deleted. Databases cannot be merged so consider using categories instead of multiple databases.
Can I import information from other programs?
Yes but only from a CSV (comma-separated values) file. Select Import from CSV File from the File Menu to import names, addresses and other information. CSV files can be created from Microsoft Outlook, Parsons Address Book and many other programs.
Can I export my address book?
Yes but only to a CSV file. Select Export to CSV File from the File Menu to export your address book.
Can I change the program colors?
Select Options from the Tools Menu to set the colors for your screens and reports. Other program defaults can be set in Options.

Click Select on the Printable Address Book or Phone Book Screens to change the title.
What is the Christmas checkbox on the EZ Address Book Screen for?
The Christmas designation is primarily used to select names for Christmas Labels but can also be used to select names for the Printable Address Book, Phone Book, and Email Lists. On the Select Names for Labels and Envelopes Screen there's a Christmas button. Also the Search function on the EZ Address Book Screen includes selecting for Christmas Only names. Printing Christmas Labels is easy. On the EZ Address Book Screen, search for Christmas Only names, click Label, and then print the labels. That's it. In Options you can choose to not show the Christmas Option.
Are there birthday and anniversary reminders?
Yes. When the program starts, the Birthday and Anniversary Reminders Screen is displayed if any birthdays or anniversaries are within the day range set in Options. If the day range set in Options is zero, the Birthdays and Reminders Screen will not be displayed at Startup. There's also a Birthdays and Anniversaries Report.
Can I add a birthday or anniversary without the year?
Yes. On the Name and Address Entry Screen select the month and day but not the year. They will still appear on the Birthdays and Anniversaries Report (showing ? for the age or year) and the Birthday and Anniversary Reminders Screen when the program starts.

Click the button for the displayed address (or enter a different address) to map it on the Internet with Google Maps or MapQuest depending on your preference. You must be connected to the Internet.
