AboutJamey Key Expertise NEW and INTERMEDIATE USERS. WHAT CAN FILEMAKER PRO DO FOR ME? I have been using FileMaker products for over 10 years and have basic knowledge in all areas of FileMaker database set up and use. I`m not prepared to answer questions about complex situations or calculations but can help beginners and intermediate users set up and use FileMaker databases.
Experience Have been using FileMaker since 1989 in our business. We have 10 users on the network who use these databases every day. Our largest databases have had over 30,000 records at one time. In 1995 one of my files was chosen as "Most Unique Database" in a contest sponsored by Claris, maker of FileMaker. Recently I have developed a set of files for new computer system installed at our church.

Question HiJamey,
This problem has been a obstacle for me for 3 years.
Question:
How to output a excel file with a predefined format. For example, I need to output a excel file from filemaker, in which different information will fall into different location of cell. How to do it?
I guess the solution is something about output the excel and trigger a VBS to migrate the orginal excel file into the pre-defined format.
Can I sent you the sample file to you for a quick look?
Answer Hello Cliff;
I dont really have any idea what youre talking about. The only thing I can suggest is in filemaker 8/9 you can save the file as an Excel worksheet. Then open the worksheet and manually move things around the way you like them.
Contact me directly if you would like to talk about it
