[Hidden-tech] Outlook email question

[Rick Roberts]

Hi JoAnn.

You might try opening the comma-delimited file from FileMaker using 
Excel first, then importing the Excel file into Outlook. From Excel you 
can save it as a tab-delimited file that Outlook may handle better. Not 
sure though, I'm on my Mac now and can't try it...
