Can I go a little far with this? Exactly how does the extract fields work? I
select it and nothing happens.  All I get is a message that says "No records
selected. See the macro log for any messages". Where is the macro log and
exactly what is this option suppose to do for me? Please forgive the
ignorance, but this is a new thing for me and it sounds like it could be
very useful.

Thanks, everyone!

Chris

Subject: "Extract Fields" problem


I posted this awhile back, but got 0 responses, so in the vein of being a
"squeaky wheel", I thought I'd post it again!  :-)

When I use the LIST feature (Extras | Fields | Extract Fields), I get an
error when the extraction hits a field with a long text description (46
chars or more).  the LIST macro displays an error dialog stating:
   "Unexpected error using INSERT. Return code = -6"
and the field is not added to the field list - thus the list of fields is
incomplete.

I'd like the LIST macro to still insert the field, truncating the long text
if necessary.

I'd also like the ability to highlight the file name and then right-click to
select the LIST function.  Is it possible to do that?  Or perhaps highlight
a range of file names and have the selected files LISTed?


Thanks.
