View Full Version : Another data viewer wishlist?


11-Nov-2004, 04:59 PM
I am using data viewer with FoxPro databases. The header is of a different length to the fixed length records within the file. Is there a way to tell the data viewer the length of the header as well as the length of each record?

Also, as I am usually comparing two copies of the same file, it would be really convenient if the details (no of columns, record width, column widths) for the right-hand file were automatically filled from the left-hand file details when the next button is pressed.

It isn't possible to specify a variable length header separately from the body of the file in fixed-length records. I will add your suggestions for separate header and body specification, along with copying configuration data to the wish list for a future version of the Data Viewer.
