1. Great Plains export

I need to export some data from an old great plains software package and
make a csv file so I can import it into my EU software. Has 
anyone done that? Hints would be helpful

Great Plains uses Btrieve files. Anyone know anything about exporting from
Btrieve?

Hi George,

I haven't used Btrieve for about 10 years ... but I think I remember there 
being a "btrieve.exe" utility program which could unload data files?

Possibly now there would be an ODBC driver as well?

George:

   I read somewhere on the web that you can write reports and output them
   in text mode.

   Maybe you can also export a report in csv to a report.csv file.

Yes, worst case I can setup a generic text only printer, print the report
to a file and strip the info out of that. Hopefully the Btrieve.exe will
do a more direct csv file with the data only.
