- I use Final Data 2 on an A3000.
-
- I would like to be able to share a database with my Psion Palmtop by
- exporting it as an ascii text file. This I can do for all fields except
- memos which will only save out as *** instead of the text within the field.
-
- Any suggestions anyone??
-
- I thought of writing a macro to copy the text from the memo field and
- pasting it in a normal text field - which will save as text, but oddly,
- it looks like you can't paste text copied from memos. I could generate
- a report with the memos printed to a disk file, but this is not ideal.
- It would be labour intensive, subject to error and as a brute force
- method, it would be too difficult to share data on a regular basis.
-
- Any ideas or help welcome.
