I normally use ABI-Inform. I have written a pair of Quickeys 3.0 macros that convert the text file from ABI-Inform into a format that is read "better" into EndNote via EndLink 1.1.6. It modifies the volume and issue sequence along with changing the field codes to correspond better with EndLink. It also puts a number of the misc. items such as access code, language and word count into the note field. If anyone is interested in the macros, please send me E-mail directly rather than clutter this forum. Unfortunately, where EndLink fails me completely is when I need to import a journal or magazine that does not use volume issue sequence but rather a date such as Spet. 27, 1993. EndLink totally fails. When I sent a message to Avi a while ago, he agreed that there was no real work around.
