The 'Exports' function provides for the exporting of certain information to tab-delimited text files from where it can be incorporated in word processing programs for mailmerge, in spreadsheets for further statistical analysis or in page make-up programs for incorporation in publicity material or published reports. Alternatively, it can be imported into other Hansa databases or Companies using the 'Automatic' and 'Automatic manual file search' import functions in the System module. Remember that Reports can also be printed to disk, so most of the information that is stored in Hansa is available to other applications via the medium of the text file.

The function is selected using the 'Exports' item on the File menu or by clicking the [Exports] button in the Master Control panel. On selecting the function, the window illustrated below appears. This lists the Exports which can be produced from the Sales Ledger. Double-click the appropriate item in the list. A specification window will then appear, where you can decide the contents of the exported text file. Click [Run] and a 'Save File' dialogue box will appear, where you can name the file and determine where you want it to be saved.
