I'm wondering if there's a special reason I should be using ebase's output
process rather than FMPro's because:

When I merge using ebase's output layout (comma-delim) I get all the data
but no field names. So the fields show up in the data merge manager as "Tim"
"Jones" instead of "firstname" "lastname"--the problem is that then I lose
the data on that person and have had to type it in separately. I've tried
adding field names to the file but I get error messages like "this file is
locked" or "data file has not enough fields in row one".

What has worked is going through FM's export process, I get the field names
and everything works fine--I get all the letters I need.

Does using ebase's process vs FMP make any difference? TIA
