I used to send the report to a file and it would show up as IA5 format. I could open it in Word Perfect or Word and manipulate the data as if it were written using Word Perfect or Word.
Gary, To simulate the DOS (Plain Text) file report, you will need to use the "ETXT" (Report Emulation Text File) option in R:BASE 7.6 for Windows! Here's how: -- Example 01: CONNECT RRBYW14 PRINT Contacts + OPTION ETXT + |FILENAME ColumnarReport.TXT + |SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOG OFF + |OPEN ON RETURN You can also use the Database Explorer to print the report to a file. When using the "Print to File" option, the default type is always .PDF. However, you may select "Report Emulation Text File" option from the drop-down list of supported types. Selecting the appropriate file type will also assign the automatic file name with file extension accordingly. You may overwrite the filename if you wish. This will print the report as plain text file that can be edited using the Windows NotePad (as defined above), or any word processor. That's all there is to it! Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
