Export database for use in other apps?

Hello,

maybe it is off topic, but it would be fine to export the life factor data in a csv-file.

Best regards

No, it's not off topic. I'll add that in, thanks!

New user here. Like the program but I absolutely must be able to bring the text into Word about once a month. I really don't want to copy/paste every individual entry. The export tool is not working.

More particularly I cannot get your program to export all diary entries. It exports the most recent one (in this case Jan 12) only. I've selected "Export all entries" instead of the default "Export only selected entries" , and tried it several times.

Please advise. Thank you.

I've just tried and exporting selected and all items works ok here. Is your exported file large in size or small? Does exporting selected entries work?

[David Kropp]

Export only works for a single, selected entry. Multiple selected entries yield only the first in the series of selected dates. Choosing "All entries" when exporting yields only the first date.

Possibly related question: the help menu still has a "register" choice, as if I haven't registered yet, which I have. Could part of this program think I'm not registered and is therefore not giving me access to functions "for registered use" only?

Otherwise I have no idea what the problem might be.

Are you using MS Word to view the exported file or some other program?

Also, are you using the latest version (4.4.6.1) and which edition?

Is your diary view sorted/grouped in any way, if yes, can you please tell me in which way?

The trial versions are fully functional and the Register menu item is not removed because you may wish to upgrade to a different edition and there needs to be a way to enter a key. Although I could hide it in the Medical edition because there's nowhere to upgrade to from there.

Hello,

thanks for this thread! I found the menu-item "export". I am using version 4.4.6.1. The export of diary entries works fine. I am using wordpad to open and view the exported rtf-file. I tried the function with grouping and filtering entries.

Regards
Holger

Is there an option or way of adding a medical dictionary to the software like I added to md word, that would be a great option if not there and to be able to edit added words to your dictionary or delete words - thanks

There have been some thoughts of changing the spelling engine used to take advantage of a wider dictionary range (at the moment the dictionaries are quite limited and they are very expensive for me, as a developer, to purchase), but it has been postponed for a little while since I couldn't find a good enough engine.

You can add a word to the dictionary by right-clicking on it (when it's underlined red) and then in the menu that comes up select Add near the bottom. There is no easy way to edit or delete words at the moment, but I'll add that functionality in.
