Ok folks,

I'm sure this has come up before, but my brain is now over 55 years old and on the downhill slide to oblivion!

I need to email a list of my titles to my sis, so that she can borrow a couple to take on hols to Greece next Tuesday.....

She does not run DVDP...or indeed anything more advanced that MS Works, and has no time/ is not interested in anything "complicated"........therefore, I need to export a list of titles in simple text format, so she can choose which ones she wants to borrow.

As usual, we're now in urgency/panic mode........so I need a quick fix.......

So seriously now, how do I do it...the "File/Export Profile Database" route  gives me an XML file.....far too complicated; i need something that I can send to her in between buying ceramic tiles for the bathroom!

You could always upload your collection, then simply direct her to view your collection online (the address would be: http://www.invelos.com/DVDCollection.aspx/Mole)

To answer your question though, I don't think you can export a list into a text format (but I don't have the program installed on this pc to verify that)

You could install the CSVExport plugin and do a custom export of just the title field. Once you finish exporting, just change the extension from .CSV to .TXT and you can open it up with anything from Notepad to MS Word

You can also create a PDF document. Just install a (free) PDF printer like cutepdf and print one of the many reports to the PDF printer.

What Mathijs said, and then use e.g. the Invelos Simple Listing report.

Ah ha, another option

I hadn't even thought of using the Reports facility.

Thanks again
Chris
