you have to "WRITE plant" after the 1st time you load the export in
order to get it to write it out to disk. The automatic "WRITE" comes
when the record changes. After your code returned from the init routine
it just replaced those values with the values in the first record
selected rather than your header text. However if before you return from
the init routine, you tell filePro to WRITE what it has so far, it'll
send it to the disk file. Then you can fill up the export with real data
and the information will be written out to disk when the record changes.
Not very intuitive (unless you've been using filePro since the 80's),
but that's the way it works.
Flood away...
