Managing Database Records

The Benefits of Exporting Information
Export information from records to:
• Share information with other OmniForm Filler databases.
Information exported as a database file takes up considerably less
disk space than the database itself. It can be copied or mailed more
quickly than the entire database.
• Share information from different databases.
For example, you might have a FoxPro database and decide that
you need information already entered in an OmniForm Filler
database. Simply export the needed information from OmniForm
Filler in the appropriate format and use FoxPro’s commands to
import it.
• Save other database users the time of entering data manually by
sending them an OmniForm Filler Data or other database file.
To export information:
1 Choose
Export...
in the File menu.
The Export Setup dialog box appears.
2 Select a database file type in the
Export To
drop-down list.
• Select
OmniForm Database
to export information to an
OmniForm Filler Data file.
• Select
ODBC Database
to select a data source in the
Available
Data Sources
list box.
See ”ODBC Options” on page 55 for more information on this
dialog box.
