Print value lists? or export?

Hello... I am trying to compare the old database to the new one I am developing. In the old database, there are many many value lists and I would like to print them out or export them or something so that I can logically figure out if they are needed in the new database.

Any way to do that in plain ole Filemaker (not Advanced)?

Thanks in advance

You could write a looping script that sets some global field to the values (one by one) returned by the function ValueListNames( ) and then insert the values from the function ValueListItems( ) after each ValueListName in the field. Afterwards you could just print that field for easier viewing.

Make sense? Hope it helps!

I wonder if you could use that technique to dump the value lists into a related table with record creation turned on.

I don't see why not.
