QM Spreadsheet Data Transfer Tool

Donated by Ed Jahn

Summary

XFR.SS provides export of data from multivalue database files to spreadsheets, and import from spreadsheets to multivalue database files. It can be thought of as a report generator with update capabilities. The export produces a spreadsheet whose column headers identify the data fields. The import uses these column headers and the data dictionary to update the fields.
