Page Header when Export

Hi Todd, Andy…

My way to solve this is very simple, and avoids the issues Andy spots :

Set print or export file name {[Path]}

Calculate TitleRow as row(‘Name’,’First Name’,’Date’,”Time’,’Type’)
Prepare for export to file {Delimited (tabs)}
Export data TitlesRow

Prepare for export to file {Delimited (tabs)} <——— Export data MyList End export Close print or export file The second Prepare to export should not be necessary, but a bug in Omnis makes it needed (at least version 5 and before) Hope it helps > Le 3 juin 2017 à 14:59, Andy Hilton <andyh@totallybrilliant.com> a écrit :

But otherwise it’s all good to do it that way…….I have not found any way of automating this within Omnis……
