Scott,

I just put this little program together and put it up for download at

http://www.fpgroups.com/index.php?Target=code

Read the description here

It is a very small but cool program.  You should be able to create
a CSV file out of ANY filePro file and cherry pick the fields you
want to output.  You can also dynamically define the field separator,
target output file and field delimiter (open/close).

This program gives you so much power that it is not even funny.  You can now
produce countless CSV out of a single program and never have to write a line
of code  :)   

Hope you find it as cool as I do   :)    Enjoy it !!!

Oh, have questions, call me (954) 559-7186

NOTE:  If you or any member of the list that chooses to use the program
(and you are all welcome to) and makes changes to enhance the program (and
there is room for it), I will love to learn of these changes and possibly 
post them back in the fpgroup.com website.   Thanks!
