Re: Export from Filemaker Pro.

I use Filemaker Pro to manage the database locally.

To export go to File->Import/Export->Export Records.  Then select 
the fields you want.  (Make sure you select the right output format, 
I use TAB).

In my database my first record is the field names.  Another way 
you can do this is to have a post batch file you run on the exported 
data that combines with the proper headers for the file.  

copy /a header.txt + export.tab product.asc

This would allow you to 'pre' sort the products in the database into 
what ever order you wanted.  Be careful tho that if you do this that 
you export the fields in the exact order they are in header.txt.
