Paper databases

Paper databases

2001-08-09 by rcooke@redmtnengr.com

I'd like to add an item to the database wishlist(there must be one 
laying around somewhere) - For the folks how don't have Filemaker Pro 
5 and need to use the delimited versions - can you put the field 
titles in as the first line of the file?  This way openiing up the 
file in Excel or whatever will make a bit more sense.

Thanks,

Richard Cooke

Richard,

yes, I am aware of that. The problem has been that I must then sort them a 
certain way so that the record that contains the column names comes up at 
the top. And in all other sorts it will have to be omitted so as not to interfere 
with the flow of the page. I will look into it, though. 

Meanwhile, for a quick look at what is there, you may download a demo of 
Filemaker
http://www.filemaker.com/downloads/index.html

You may only see 50 records, but you may print all of them that way.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
