    Before I go writing code to kick out the contents of the new Swx
    imbedded BOM table (non-Excel) to a csv or the like... has anyone else
    already done this?

    Thanks,

    Eric Swartz

  2. I don't know if I correctly understood your question but if you want to
    export the contents of your BOM, you simply have to select your BOM, then go
    to File->Save As and select csv or txt.

    Hope this helps

  3. Hi Eric,

    For what it's worth, the new bom can be saved to CSV (or even better
    space delimited- better if you have commas in a field) by selecting
    the table and doing a "save as" from the file menu.

    If there is a larger programming need other than just getting space or
    comma delimited from a BOM, then that's another story (I'm no use
    here).

    Regards,

    SMA

    are you sure about this? Our VAR said you can't do this?

    How dare your VAR try to prohibit me from doing this! They don't even
    know me.

    Actually it will do CSV and what they call TXT which appears to be
    tab-delimited, or at least reads in as such - I promise. Perhaps you
    refer to space delimited, which if I need space I can find lots of it
    between my ears - - - this it looks like it cannot do.

    Please tell your VAR to stop judging me, please . . .

    BIG SMILE

    first off, *I* am the one doing the judging. :)

    the other guy at work called the var and asked if there was some way to
    export the new BOM to a spreadsheet.

    I'll check at work tomorrow, but maybe the VAR is just doofus?

    Maybe I can charge the VAR for training HIM?
