Export Information

It's nice to have lots of great information in a database. But not as great as getting that data OUT of the database! Here's how you can do that in RecWizard.

Finding the place to export from is pretty easy. Click on Application Setup, then select the Company tab and the Export button. The screen will look like this:

After you click the Export button you will be prompted for an As Of Date, and whether you want to Include Column Headings. We recommend you include the column headings so you know what the actual information your are exporting is. When you are ready to go click Run Export.

Now you will be prompted with normal Windows type prompts to select a name for the file that will be created and the place you want it to be saved.

Contents of the Export File

There are two parts of the file you have just created. The TOP-LEFT... and the BOTTOM-RIGHT. The TOP-LEFT will start at cell A1. The BOTTOM-RIGHT will start in column V and the first row will be the next row after the end of the TOP-RIGHT section. To find that first record go to cell V1 and press END-DOWN. In the RecWizardTutorial Database the first cell of the BOTTOM-RIGHT section is V26.

This information can be manipulated to create Excel reports. If you prefer to use Access to create robust customized reports this data can easily be extracted into an Access database.
