Working with forms
526 InfoMaker
2 Navigate to the folder you want and select the file from which you want to
import the data.
The types of files that you can import into the form are shown in the Files
of Type drop-down list.
3 Click Open.
InfoMaker reads the data from the file. You can view the data and save it
in an external file.
Data from a file must match retrieved columns
When importing data from a file, the data must match all the columns in the
retrieved data (the columns specified in the
SELECT statement), not just the
columns that are displayed in the form.
Saving data in an external file
When you run a form, you can save the data retrieved (and optionally the
headers) in an external file.
❖ To save data in an external file:
1 Select File>Save Rows As from the menu bar.
The Save As dialog box displays.
2 Choose a format for the file from the Save As Type drop-down list.
When you choose a format, InfoMaker supplies the appropriate file
extension.
If you want the column headers saved in the file, select a file format that
includes headers, for example Excel With Headers. When you select a with
headers format, the names of the database columns (not the column
labels), are also saved in the file.
Saving the data as a PDF document, HTML table, or Powersoft report
For information about saving data in PDF, HTML Table, and PSR formats,
see “Saving data in an external file” on page 208 in the chapter on
enhancing reports.
3 Name the file.
