Export mdb file from termstar nxt? Thread poster: Wilmer Brouwer
|
Does anyone know if it is possible to export an MDB file from termstar nxt to Excel or any other file format that can be used in other software? I tried the obvious option to go to dictionaries > export terminology > excel but as with most functions in Transit this does not seem to do what I would expect. Nothing seems to happen when I try that option. I would really appreciate any help.

thank you for your reply. I think my question is more basic than you expect. When I open a termbase nothing happens. No errors, just nothing. I now discovered that if I open a project and then the termbase for some reason I can open the termbase. But then when I click on the option to export to martif or any of the other options nothing happens. I think the termbase may be locked with a password, but i do not receive an error message that this is the case. | |

Hi Antonin, This macro is just what I am looking for. But how do you use it exactly? Best regards, Gillian | | | using my mtf2xls macro | Jul 22, 2010 |
Copy and paste it to a module in MS Excel VBA - I still use the hidden "Personal" book which was in fashion long time ago but I find this approach satisfactory; anyway, pasting it to any VBA module will work, I suppose. Running the macro from Excel: it asks for a full path to a martif file, from which an xls file is generated. Antonin

Thanks Antonin, it is working perfectly now. I can finally export all the received dictionaries, clean them up and put them in my main dictionary. Cheers, Jill | | | You are welcome | Jul 22, 2010 |
Glad to hear that this macro, which I originally wrote more or less for myself only (hence no bells and whistles), helps other people as well. Antonin | |
