Exporting a Form

Can you export a form into Excel?

I searched the topics and didn't see a solution.

Basically I have a form that we currently fax to multiple vendors. Well I want that form to be downloaded into Excel.

Each record would have it's own file so that may make it easier.

Thanks for any help.

I forgot to mention that I want it to look like the form.

I don't want each field to have it's own column. Otherwise I have a file with 50 columns.

FileMaker has the ability to rearrange fields in any order on a layout, whereas Excel can only resize columns and rows. You will never be able to export a layout form in FileMaker to Excel and have it look the same. Why don't you just fax the FileMaker layout instead?

If you fax it to 1000 reps that's a lot of manual inputting when you get it back.

I found a solution by using IWP to have the form filled out online.

I needed to get familiar with IWP anyway so this is a perfect time.

Thanks for the info.
