Hi,
Am I able to get hold of the movie database in excel so I can do a lookup from another database?

Thanks,

Ed

I'm not sure that I understand what you're trying to do, please give me more details.

I thought I would keep it simple by keeping it vague but was obviously a bit too vague....

So basically I have a large database full of data, some of the data is movie titles, some are other superfluous entries. I want to find out which are the movie titles.

I want to do this by cross referencing/ looking up against a database of movie titles.

Hope that explains...

Yes, now I understand.

Unfortunately, our movie database isn't standard, and only our program can read it.

Thanks for the prompt response Hector. Is there no way to get a data dump of just titles in excel or as a .txt file?

A data dump of just titles as a .txt file ?

If that's all you need, yes, it's possible.

You just display the list of all the movies (in the order that you want) and press the "print list" button.


P.S: the current version has a bug with the alphabetical order.
