Good timing. After having SplashID duplicate (or rather tripilcate) my data again (this seems to occur at least twice a month, and SplashData says it's an ActiveSync issue they cannot correct), I downloaded eWallet 4.1 last night. I chose this particular wallet program just for the import utility they offer. (I also have Flex Wallet, but I really didn't want to re-create over 500 entries to use it.) Glad to see eWallet 5.0 is coming out soon. I'll hold off purchasing until it does (and the beta looks good so far).
