Save the grid's data to an external file format by exporting data from a grid. Currently, the following formats are supported: Microsoft Excel, HTML, and Text files with ' ~ ', ' | ' or ' , ' used as field separators. Exporting grid data could be useful to start with AWdb data and use it for something like a mail-merge data file for MS Word, importing data into another application or generating a very specific looking report.
To export a grid:
|
If groupings are applied, only those records visible in the expanded nodes will be exported.
|
| 2. | Select Export... from the Grid menu to open the Data Export dialog. |
| 3. | Select the output file format from the drop-down menu. |
| 4. | Select the folder where the exported file will be saved. |
| 5. | Either accept the default filename or enter a preferred filename to use when saving the file. |
|
Do not add an extension to the filename since AWdb will do that.
|
| 6. | Click Run. The grid's data is exported to a file with the specified name in the specified folder. |
