Hi,

I have been given the task of exporting data from my customers' dataease database as we want to use it to pre-populate a website mysql db with their product range. I know they are running DE 6.52. A csv or similar would be ideal.

I don't have any developer knowledge of Data Ease so I am after some pointers. The export functionality I have read about on the web doesn't appear to be offered when logging in using my customers' credentials, so I am guessing they are hidden/disabled or that I need a developer version of DE6.52? The developer who orignally made their application is no longer around so i am hoping there is a way  for us to extract this data.

Some advice and a pointer in the right direction would be awesome, thanks so much.

Ian.

We have a service that will give you access to the application as a developer/find the developer Password.

You find it in our shop.

Hi Ian

There is no separate Developer software in a standard 6.52 system, you will need to get into Developer mode though.

Sometimes the developer will leave a route from the User side into the Developer side via the normal menus but the likelihood is that you will need to log into DataEase using a Name & Password that will allow you into the Developer mode.

Once you are in Developer mode there are a couple of ways of getting your data out depending upon whether you want all the data in a table or just a selection of fields from each record.

The first thing to do is to see if you are able to get into Developer mode - If you can please post again and I (or someone else) will guide you through things.

If you cannot get into Developer mode at all then feel free to contact me,

Morning Peter,

Thank you for the fast response. I am just setting up a lab here to test with. I have an old email address for the developer that i will try and see if he can give me details for the login.

I am guessing there isn't a nice way for me to extract a list of logins from one of the files? :D

Otherwise in the meantime I'll try some generic user/password combinations and see if i get lucky.

Fingers crossed I can get the dev info!

Thanks,

Ian.
