Export CSV with field names in FMP6

Anyone know of a plug-in that's still available to export as a CSV file that includes field names in FMP6?

Or any ideas for a work around? I've thought about creating a temp record and populating the fields with the field names but prefer something more straight forward.

Thanks much.

I think all you need to do is to export as a merge file, and then if needed change the extenion to .csv.

Thanks Lee but that won't work. It looks like the .mer file format creates an HTML table with _th_ tags. I need it for an interface file for an accounting system so it needs to be an actual csv.

You have selected "HTML Table" instead of "Merge" which is right above it.

Ah - it appears that I did. I've never looked in the .mer format. I would have liked to know what it was years ago.

Thanks as usual.
