Exporting Information
This section explains the benefits of exporting information and how to
export information from an open OmniForm Filler database.
See “Importing Information” on page 4-22 for information on how to
import information into a database.
The Benefits of Exporting Information
Export information from records to:
• Share information with other OmniForm Filler databases.
Information exported as a database file takes up considerably less
disk space than the database itself. It can be copied or mailed
more quickly than the entire database.
• Share information from different databases.
For example, you might have a FoxPro database and decide that
you need information already entered in an OmniForm Filler
database. Simply export the needed information from OmniForm
Filler in the appropriate format and use Microsoft FoxPro’s
commands to import it.
• Save other database users the time of entering data manually by
sending them an OmniForm Filler Data or other database file.
