limiting selections

[dharkin]

can someone tell me how to limit your selections in the "specify field order"screen when exporting records.

I have 33 fields but I only want to select from say 10 of them.

thanks,

To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to do this. The dialog will always show all the field.

Yes, I think this would be a good feature. There are some fields that I don't want users to import to (either accidentally or otherwise). I set my import order to those fields that are relevant, but you never know what users can do.

If you're scripting this, you could try setting up a related file with calculating fields which 'mirror' the content of the fields you want to let users export, then sending them to an export dialog from the related file instead. You'd need to set up the script to write the key fields to records in the related file first, so it would pick up the required field data from your main file.
