FUBAR Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 This might be a "give-your-head-a-shake" type question (my brain isn't fully functional today) but did FM remove the option to export to Excel in version 5.5? I seem to remember being able to do it in 5.0 (but I'm not positive since I did not use it that much) and there are also other questions about Excel in the forum so I think it's a safe assumption that FM at least used to be able to export to Excel. So am I going braindead/crazy/ignorant/all of the above, or does this option not exist anymore?

elvis_impersonating_penguin Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 when ever i want to export to excel i export using the "tab separated text file (*.tab)" option. And then open that file in Excel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUBAR Posted December 14, 2001 Author Share Posted December 14, 2001 I'm using that as a last option right now. I'm trying to make the database as fully automated as possible because there is the possibility that the people using it will be computer illiterate.

larosche Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 I have Filemaker 5.0 loaded and it does not have export to Excel. It does have the usual .dbf, tab delimited, etc. RAD DAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
