DBF ASCII Database Export Automation Options
Since the Export Options dialog is not displayed when the program is driven from an automation script, an options string can be specified in the script. The string consists of comma-separated parameters, which specify the behavior of the various export options. A typical example would be:
"Defaults=1,FirstRowColumnNames=1"
This would set the export option to its default value, then indicate the data file includes the field (column) names in the first row.
| Option | Action | Default | Description |
| FirstRowColumnNames |
0 = The first row does not include
field names. 1 = The first row includes field names. |
1 | When set to 1, the data in the first row of the worksheet will be used to assign field (column) names in the DBF file. When set to 0, default field names will be assigned in the DBF file: COL-1, COL-2, COL-3, etc. |
