I know all the data in Auto Manager was stored in listing.dat.cgi and i know CMS Builder uses MySQL. Do you have a process of extracting all the data from the cgi and importing it in MySQL?

If you are running Article Manager 2, you have the option to switch from a flatfile database to using a MySQL database.
Then you could export the MySQL database and import it into another MySQL database.
The data would need some adjusting and the fields in CMS Builder would need to be updated to match.
Handling images uploaded in Article Manager would be an issue too.
We have a scheduled project through our consulting service where we will be doing exactly the same thing. Getting Article Manager data and importing it into CMS Builder.
Once the project has completed in the next couple of weeks, I can post some more steps.
