- From release 1.9 OEA allows you to export the date as "Real Date."
- This feature makes it possible to sort and perform a search in FM Pro archives.
-
- To change the "date" in your existing data in FileMaker Pro
- (created with versions of OEA before 1.9) follow these steps:
-
- 1) Make a backup copy of your OEA Email Database (FM Pro Archive)
- 2) Open the copy of your database in FileMaker Pro.
- 3) Create a new field called "Real Date" (Kind: Date)
-
- 4) Launch the application (date Conversion)
- At this point you must indicate if the date must be calculated in USA format
- (mm-dd-yyyy) or in European format (dd-mm-yyyy), in keeping with the
- settings of your MacOS.
- The process will start.
-
- 5) Wait for the end of the process.
- 6) Delete the field "Date" and change the name of the field "Real Date" to "Date"
