Export DB feature extension

Posted By: Willem Hemelop <dw.hemelop@i...>

Since Colby removed the possibility to save the database as ascii textfile I've been puzzling how to convert the MS Access file or read it in my Delphi program. But without expensive other programs like Access2000 or an ADO license it didn't work. This was until I found in the archives a posting from Rich Boykin about an export DB feature. This feature really works but it was not enough for me so I expanded it to export other fields and tracktitles as well. I know nothing about basic scripts but I do know a bit about programming. By trial and error I found out this code. The export result is a semicolon delimited file. But of course it was Rich Boykin who showed the way to do it. Thanks !!!
