Hi.  I'm a newbie to the list-serve.  I wish I found it years ago.  I've been using FilePro since 1992.  Currently using 5.0.08 on Windows 7 - professional. Data is on a server and using 3 individual terminal.



I've always had trouble using the import/export functions.  Up to now I've been able to get by, but it's become important that I can export some reports/data in either ascii or excel (multi) format. I've tried both of the following coding but I can not find the resulting files.



if

then: export multi labels c=1

if

then: lables(1)=1;labels(2)=2;labels(3)=3



also tried

if

then: export ascii labels -x



I would also love to bring in data from other databases.  But like with export, I must be getting syntax wrong for import.  I thought setting up non-filepro files would be best....but again I cant seem to get it right.  I've always had

the dbcopy function on my utilities menu but no luck there either.  When I try this, I get the Xbase file name, but must not be showing the file properly because I don't get the next stop.



ANY and ALL assistance would be appreciated.
