Exporting/Importing tables

[Gez]

Hi,

I'm looking for a seemless way of exporting/saving an individual table
(contains embedded pictures) to a single file so that it can be imported
again at a later date.

Cheers,

Geraint

Create new db
File->Get External Data->Import

or:

Copy the table (in the 'Database' window).
Create new DB
Paste

Create a macro and use the action "OutputTo"

I've been looking into that and using the output To command would seem to be
the best way but I can't get the embedded pictures to transfer into any of
the available file formats. It looks like I might have to store the
pictures within the main db and create a reference to them from the exported
file . Or I could try the previous suggestion and create a new db every
time with just the one table in it, decisions decisions.

I've had some success by manually exporting the table containing the
embedded images to a .dbf file and then importing them. Does anyone have
any ideas on how to do this using code? Something like acformatDBF as an
output format using outputTo would be nice.
