following message would be received when attempting to import a CSV file

June 10, 2009 - List Sorcerer Enterprise Edition Version: 1.0.0.998
Added syntactical support for now including an "Order By" clause as part of any custom Sql Filter Statement that you might specify within an outgoing Scheduled task. Using this approach you can now not only select campaign records based upon whatever criteria your choose but in addition dictate the order that these records are processed in. An example shown below might be something you would use in order to randomly process client records within your campaign each of which belongs to a specific sales representative.
Sql Filter Clause:
Salesrep <> ‘’ Order By NewID()
Addressed various bugs.
June 09, 2009 - List Sorcerer Enterprise Edition Version: 1.0.0.997
Implemented the addition of a Main Program Database Connection Properties Form that can be launched from within configuration properties of the programs main application screen. Using these properties the application can be told to either use its own database server accessing the database within a location of your choice or to use an entirely different Microsoft database server resident elsewhere. The list sorcerer main database files are by default contained within the c:\dolfware\listsorcerer directory of the computer that the program has been installed on. In order to have the program make use of a database residing within a different location you would first need to copy the files contained within this default directory into the new location.
Addressed various bugs.
May 14, 2009 - List Sorcerer Enterprise Edition Version: 1.0.0.965
Added the ability to now embed dynamic content directly
within the file attachments area of any email template. The List
Sorcerer program will now scan the process any EMBEDSTRDEF tags
found within file attachment(s) at runtime.
Using this approach you could easily have different attachments within
the same email template being sent to different recipients. An example
scenario might be for a book publishing company whom has a set of pre
personalised ptf files one for each customer based up customerid.
Within each email recipients record we have a field called "CustomerID"
this fields data is used to identify an unique customer ID for each recipient.
An Example of this attachment using the EMBEDSTRDEF might look like
this:
C:\CustomerBooks\EMBEDSTRDEF[CustomerID,"DefaultDoc"].ptf
Using the approach above we could create one email template which supported
the sending of a different ptf attachment whose filename being attached
was based upon the contents of the "CustomerID" data field of
recipient being sent to. In the event that the "CustomerID"
field was blank then the "DefaultDoc.ptf attachment would be sent
instead.
corrected an issue with email attachments that would occur when being reset or duplicated.
Addressed various bugs.
May 04, 2009 - List Sorcerer Enterprise Edition Version: 1.0.0.962
Added the ability to now override the default location of the main list sorcerer database, using this feature you could easily store the list sorcerer database to a main server or other file share and then allow multiple clients access to it.
Addressed various bugs.
Apr 28, 2009 - List Sorcerer Enterprise Edition Version: 1.0.0.958
Added the ability to now make and save direct modifications to the lse_DateAdded field from with the Campaign Edit Window, by doing this you could easily set the life cycle of each recipient within your internal campaign. A common scenario for wishing to make direct modifications to the lsp_DateAdded field might be were you have a campaign that contains several email templates each preset to go out on a particular week cycle. By manually setting the value within the lse_DateAdded field you would in effect be able to position each of your email recipients within your campaign to the exact position within the life cycle that you wished.
Began the implementaion of being about to create campaigns that will be able to work directly with MSql Databases.
Dec 12, 2008 - List Sorcerer Enterprise Edition Version: 1.0.0.951
Added the ability to now create campaigns that are able to attach and work directly with both Access 2003 and Access 2007 databases in addition to Microsoft SQL Databases in real-time. You can view a tutorial that demonstrates this latest feature from within the tutorials tab of the list sorcerer program or by simply clicking HERE
Corrected a potential problem where new campaigns were not being initially configured to use the global SMTP configuration.
Began the implementation of the ability to track open, bounces and click through rates.
Corrected an issue that would sometimes occur when running a report where an error would be returned saying the report was not found.
April 04, 2007 - List Sorcerer Enterprise Edition Version: 01.0.875
Fixed an issue within the campaign edit screen
where the top 1000 records would be
displayed instead of the top 10,000 records upon either performing
a external file
import, or resetting the search criteria. This error only affected
the number of
records being displayed within the campaign subscribers tab. and never
had any effect
on the updating of records.
Fixed an issue where when connection with some
POP3 mail servers that if they replied
with a timestamp we falsely assumed that they could further negotiate
using APOP.
We now will only attempt APOP based upon the setting of SSL.
Fixed an opacity issue within the "Text Message"
tab of the email templates edit
window the text that would cause the displayed text to flicker on and
off when the
mouse entered and exited the edit area of the Textbox. This issue was
more prominent
on Windows Vista machines.
Created a new improved version of our the email
template live data substitution macro, the
EMBEDSTR[<yourfieldname>] macro now supports the inclusion
of default text should the field contents being
embedded be blank or empty. This new email template macro is called:
EMBEDSTRDEF[<yourfieldname>,"<Your Default Value should
the field be blank>"]
