Jason,

Out of the blue sumamry is now giving me an error message that says 
"processing can't reacquire database" any ideas? It grinds to a halt and 
crashes out?

Jason : 
	Is there any way to export the database to a readable format? We
would like to integrate the results from the summary into a report that
takes information from different sources.


Thanks, Pablo

If you have Summary Plus or Summary SP you can use the export as 
spreadsheet feature to get whatever information you want. Export as 
spreadsheet works using the icon that looks something like a 3D bar chart 
that is at the top of each report. Microsoft Excel workbooks can be setup 
to automatically fetch the most recent information from Summary, or to 
update on request, if you want. Other programs can often be setup to 
automatically get new data with a little scripting.

Good Luck
Jason
