MagicFish,

I believe the Sesame Export tool will always give you the 'raw data' as it is stored in the database fields. You can change the format the data is stored in by using the 'Property Editor' in SDesigner. (Format Tab>Selected Elements>Custom Format.)

If you want to get fancier with your data during export, you'll want to use sBasic programming (such as in a Mass Update or Command Button) instead of the export tool, or tweak your data after it has been exported with something like Excel.

Hello,

Sesame export will always export out the Raw un-formatted data.

You can as Steve mentioned use SBasic programming to write out formatted values, or use an HTML report that can be pulled into Excel or Word as a Data source, or if you are needing the data for a Mail Merge in Word you can use the Word Merge Field format switches to format the raw data. Information on Merge Field switches can be found at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/numeric-picture-field-switch-HP00518...
