Aditya Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Hi all, I have a FM DB, I want to export to excel so that users can use it in the way they want after I process the data from the FM5.5. The problem I am facing is while exporting the data all field names are truncated to 8 characters, I have tried all possible formats but could not solve the problem. Hope you will have solution of this problem, Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveOak Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 What platform are you on? What version of FM are you using? What export format have you selected? What version of Excel are you using? -bd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aditya Posted July 11, 2001 Author Share Posted July 11, 2001 I am using Mac OS X File Maker Pro 5.5 Excel 2001 and I have tried all options to export but only DBF option exported the headers that too truncated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marija Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 Anybody ever come across a solution for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Knippel Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 Try exporting as a Merge file. This is basically a comma seperated file, but exports the full field names as the first record. It is not so much a Filemaker problem, as it is that these other data formats only allow for an 8 character field name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
