Re: Text File Output

Hi

I have tried your suggestion Harry. I saved a Microsoft Word document
as a text file. Them when I opened it and asked it to look for '# '
and replace with '^p' it didn't recognize the '^p' at all and
therefore did not insert carriage returns as I expected it to.

I would like to do it that way if at all possible because it doesn't
take long to replace one value with another in notepad.

Dave your suggestion is similar to what I had for Plan B. I'm not
sure if it is exactly the same but I was going to create 4 Filemaker
tables like those of the external database for example:
JobDetail1
JobDetail2
JobDetail3 &
JobDetail4
Then export the fields to those Filemaker tables so that one record
will be in the same format as one record in the external database.
Then from this new database with the 4 tables create the text file.
Does it sound logical? I assume it would be easy to transfer fields
from one Filemaker Database to another on the same network.
