When I try to export an fm pro file to wk1, dif or csv-format to use it in
MS Excel 97, it works very fine, except when I'm opening this file with
Excel and I look in the tables, I'll noticed that from a series records
with
the same name only the first row shows the name, the following rows left
the
same data away. An example:
I alway use *.dbf or *.slyk for exporting to Excel!

Dear Group,

No matter what I do, no matter what kind of expormat I use (including .sylk
en .dbf) the result is always the same ... In Exel 97 (Windows) the records
show always the first record within the column when the there is a series of
the same data.

I need urgent help to solve this problem !!! :-((

Have you tried exporting as a Lotus 123 file. Excel imports those in pretty
cleanly.

it's because you were sorting by the first field

it's not a bug, it's a feature, but a very ennoying one

if anyone knows how to do...
