How do I toggle between exporting different subsets of fields
I use File Maker pro version 6.0 on a Mac and would like to know how I can easily export different subsets of fields from my records. I know how to cherry pick the fields each time, but that is tedious when one of my subsets contains about a couple score of fields, another contains a different few dozen or so fields, still another may contain several baker's dozens of fields and yet another may contain a completely different bevy of fields. In my work, I have to switch amongst exporting these different subsets and it is time to check to see if someone out there knows how to do this easily. I know how to duplicate the entire file and to set the default of each copy to export different subsets of fields, but that is also tedious as each time I want to update the records or fields, each copy has to be updated. If you know how to do this easier, please let me know. thank you
