Hi All,

I'm doing an export where some records in my filemaker table will result in the creation of 2 or 3 records in the export, so rather than creating records in an export table, I just appended all my output into a single field and I export field contents as FileName.tab on the desktop.

The problem is, the file type/creator tells the OS this is a text file. I'd much rather it be identified as an Excel file, because it opens up perfectly in Excel.

Since FileMaker can't do that, I figured maybe I could just use AppleScript to fix the file so it opens in Excel. Can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks!
