I'm trying to export an Open Office database table to a dBase IV file.
I can't figure out how to do it. The Save As option on the file menu is
grayed out. Can someone please advise? Using WinXP. Thanks.
Hi Jeff,
Well, this is just so intuitive I can't understand why you didn't figure
it out for yourself...*ROFL*
First:
Create a new Base File.
now in the New Database wizards select
'connect to existing database'
(Yes, I know there is no existing dBase file yet, but hey..)
For a type select bBase
Finish the wizard process by selecting a directory for the dbf files.
Finish and open the new Base file, of type dBase.
Now open your existing Base file.
Grab your table and drag/drop it to the new Base file.
The Copy table wizard launches.
That's it...see intuitive.
Really though not too bad, once you know.
My head hurts!
You are correct, not intuitive. Never would have figured that out
without prompting. Wow
