Sorry, but I lost the message I wanted to respond to.

Someone suggested exporting to .dbf.

Yes, field names are there. Sorta.

Exporting to .dbf, a space in a field name is replaced with an underscore, and the name itself is truncated to ten characters.

Exporting to HTML, the field name is preserved exactly as it exists in FMP, and it is even bolded, which would otherwise be an additional step (at least for me).

Matt.

No wonder I lost the message.

It was a different group, and a mailing list at that.

Time to go back to bed.
