Hi everyone,

Is it possible to download the data on a view to a text file and vice versa?

I need to create a program that will do this.

Please help


Thanks


Rudy


 
No program needed. In a view you can use File/Export to create a comma-separated text file, or a 1-2-3 spreadsheet (easier to open with Excel).
Of course, you can semi-automate the process with a button and the formula
Code:
@Command([Export];"Lotus 1-2-3";"filename")

As for importing, you'll need almost the same (Import instead of Export), but you have to specify a form name. Your import file had better have the correct field names as header, otherwise the documents will never show up correctly.
I like to control my imports with LotusScript using a comma-separated file.

Pascal.
