Printing out the index contents

[andygaunt]

Well,

you could create a value list based on that field, then you can copy that.

But then you would have to check all the items to be able to copy them.

So you could do the above and then create a calc field [text]

Field name=Index.calc

Look under the design functions and you will find

ValueListItems( "Database name here", "valuelist name here")

substitute the db name and value list name

Then, the items from the value list are shown in the field as standard text. You can now copy this.

I don't remember if anyone asked this question before, and I apologise if it's redundant.

How can I print out the contents of Ctrl + I index? Or copy it?

Thank you

Thank you Andy,

It worked well, with a little tweaking.

For the benifit of others needing to do this:

1. Create a value list based on the field

2. Define a calculated field, say c_Index as:

ValueListItems ("dbname.fp5", "valuelist")

PS: File Maker did not accept my parameters unless they were in quotes.
