Newbie to flashfiler... How to extract data

[sugarflux]

Hi Can anyone help at all please? I'm completely new to flash filer and no very little of C++ or Delphi but do have experience in access and sql.

I need to extract a table that is currently stored in flash filer, preferably into access. I need the ID number which the ordinary csv export in flash filer doesn't include.

Please help!

Do you have access to the Flash Filer Server or Borland C++?

OK, this is the outline of things you need to do.
1) You will need to compile and install the FF (Flash Filer) components for Borland. FF will have instuctions in their README file somewhere.
2) Next you will need to make a program that will open the FF tables.
3) The program can then export the data to a text file that Access can import or, if you feel ambitious, make the program put the data directly into Access.

When you get stuck, post here. I do use FF a lot.
