When I use an ext extension or "Report Emulation Text File" only the first six charcters are picked up in a text field or a db field.
Is there any way to have it transfer all the charcters in the field. Gary Weitzel -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of A.

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.
