Import data from FileMaker

S

SharonSmith

I have a School Suspension file that is in FilemakerPro. It works very
well. I want to automate a monthly report for our business office and want
to be able to import data from the db into Excel. On Mac's I can do so
quite nicely, simply Open Excel, then Open the FMPro db which launches a
wizard and all is done in a few key strokes. Obviously I'm not as adept in
XP. Using Excel 2003 and FileMaker Pro 6.ov4 how can I accomplish this
task?

I don't speak FileMakerPro, so you can try this or wait for a real response!

Open excel.
File|Open
Look at all the fileformats that excel can open in the "file of type" box.

Back to FileMakerPro.
Can you save your data in any of those formats?
(*.dbf, or *.csv--or maybe *.xls???)

Post back if it didn't work and maybe someone who really knows can help.
