[AccessD] New Export As Text (EAT) Form - Need Beta Testers

Dan

...that was the most frustrating part ...no feedback ...just an eternal 
hourglass until I killed it
...there was an error msg on the first go round but I didn't log it 
...couldn't create object iirc.

>> Good Morning!
>>
>> I've mentioned a few times that I was working on upgrading Max's EATBloat
>> form (having started last year!).
>>
>> This is a significant change:
>>
>>  There are 2 listboxes to quickly manage the objects to be exported.
>>
>>  The objects are all exported to the same export folder, which is date 
>> and
>> time stamped.  The text files have prefix names to correspond with which
>> type of object it is so you can quickly select what you want to import.
>>
>>  You can quickly include or exclude linked tables.
>>
>>  I have only used this in Access 2003.
>>
>>  I have not tried to use this yet with any database other than the 
>> Current
>> Database.
>>
>>
>> To get a copy:
>> http://www.promationsystems.com/databaseadvisors.htm
>>
>> Download the EAT.pdf file, and then change the extension to .mdb.  Then
>> place the single form, frmEAT, into your database.
>>
>> Please review the pages titled About, Steps, and Notes.
>>
>>
>> If you have some ideas or find some problems please respond using my 
>> email
>> address at dwaters at usinternet.com.
