I have set up a php page to display search results from a database I
converted from Act! 2005 to mysql. I now need some kind of a macro to
automate the task of exporting an Act! 2005 database into a text
delimited file with tabs as the delimiters and then import that into a
program I got called DBTools Manager Professional. I believe the
DBTools program has an interface where I can set up the import into it.
Therefore, I really just need a macro to export the database from Act!
2005 into a text delimited file. I saw that Act! 2005 has a way to set
up custom commands, but I don't know the command to export. Can anyone
help me with this?

Check the Act Help system. Look up ascii.

I tried this and got no results. Anywhere else you know of that I
could look?
