I have a Macintosh running Filemaker (1.0v2) under system 6.0.7. I would like to export Filemaker data in a summarised format. E.g. if I have a (simple) database that looks like this: Product Tonnes Cold Rolled 71 Hot Rolled 25 Hot Rolled 10 I would like to be able to produce a *file* (cf a report) that looks like this: Product Tonnes Cold Rolled 71 Hot Rolled 35 My understanding is that Filemaker (1.0v2) will only export individual records. One suggestion made by an IBM person is that I find out if there is a Macintosh print driver which will print an ascii file to disk, then print a copy of a layout in the appropriate format. Is this possible, or is there an alternative? Paul.
