Export project

For each position in the project a row in a database table will be written. Excel (*.xls), Access (*.mdb) and dbaseIV (*.dbf) databases can be specified in the save dialogue.

If the specified file already exists the data in the file will be replaced with new values.

Also, if the specified file contains more than one table, and none of the tables has got the standard name (e.g. valvedat) a message appears to select the table to be used. When using an existing database/table, no new columns will be added, i.e. only fields where corresponding columns already exist will be exported.

The tag number is the identifier for a position.

For items with tag numbers which do not occur in the table, new rows will be appended.

Before the file dialogue appears, one has to select the export template (e.g. valvedat) which specifies the details of the export, i.e. corresponding column names, translation of functional values and the standard name of the table.
