Hello Giuseppe,
It seems as though your request can be fullfilled if you are using
the V12 database engine.
By using this database you can export all your records into a text file and
a DBF file.
You can download the Xtra directly from Integration New Media's website at
http://www.integrationnewmedia.com/download/download.htm
It is very simple to use and very efficient, especially for your needs.
You can also download the free V12 Tool which is a very user friendly tool.
You can use it to easily create your databases and import and export your
data. You can download this tool directly from our site at
http://www.integrationnewmedia.com/products/v12director/tools/
If you are using Lingo to export your data into a text file, it would look
something like:
mExportSelection(table_instance, "TEXT", FileName,
FldDelimiter,RecDelimiter)
If you are using the V12 tool, you would need to export your data to a text
by clicking on File, Export to Text.
Select the Text File, the Field delimiter, Record Delimiter and click
Export.
I hope I was able to answer your questions.
Thank you,
Steve

Subject: <lingo-l> how can I save records in a database?
Hi all the list,
I have a database and I want to save periodically the records of every
month in particular backup folders without the permission of the user
(in background). How can I do that with fileioxtra or filextra3? I have
created two globals called gCurrentmonth that contains the records of
the current month (from the SystemDate) and gAllRecords so I want to
save all the records in a database.txt and, month by month, I want to
create backup copies of the records into February.txt, March.txt etc.
Thank you in advance and sorry for my English
giuseppe
