| The file produced from the CARDS program Version 6 or 7 NAMES/FILE/SAVE option that produces an ASCII text file is loaded into the current masterfile. If the players already exist in the file they are placed there a second time. It would be unusual to use this option with a members database that is not empty.
|
| If the database is not empty click the "Do not add duplicate players" option. Then this updates the current members database with the file produced from the ASE Scorer Version 6 or 7 NAMES/FILE/SAVE option that produces an ASCII text file. Any existing players are updated and new players added to the file.

| The file from the CARDS program Version 8 "produce CSV file" option (that produces an ASCII comma-separated volume) is loaded into the current masterfile. If the players already exist in the file they are placed there a second time. It would be unusual to use this option with a members database that is not empty.

|
| When this file is loaded into a masterfile that is not empty it is important to understand the use of the internal reference numbers within the members' database. All rows in the database have a unique reference number. When the CSV file is loaded into an empty database the original sequence numbers are retained. When the database is not empty, the sequence numbers are all changed and in sequence starting from the next highest number available on the file.

|
| If the masterfile is loaded using this option and there were already players on this file, then the new loaded players will have different sequence numbers. This means events that have been previously scored using the masterfile from where this CSV file was produced will have the wrong names.
