I can't believe no-one has done it before.
This could turn into a major project, as it might then be possible to
output Excel directly along with formulae.
I must investigate the format of that!
Wasn't there a kind of filter with QSpread for importing Abacus, then
export the file...?
I must confess that I never used the Qspread import options (not many _aba
files to export) but a quick try is not promising.
The "PsionExport_exe" tool sets up a hotkey that can be called from Abacus
to "prepare" the sheet for normal export. So I suspect most of the Abacus
export limitations still apply (no formula).
Beware, the file is first modified to include grid information!
Then from Qspread the _exp file should be imported, provided the
"PsionImport" filter is set correctly.
In my trails this failed to work with a file error and even a QPC2 crash!
:(
The Qspread manual states that the author is working on a new filter to
directly import the _aba sheet, this has not surfaced yet.
Good luck, Tony.
