[Stephanie Alford]

For sites that have converted from Magic to either C/S or 6.0, what are
you using for MOX replacement?

Thanks!

You can convert MOX text files to RTF (thereby preserving most of the formatting) by using this routine:

MOX.USER.download.to.rtf

RTF is a public microsoft spec, Word can open RTF files and they will behave just like a .DOC file.

If you use the regular download routine, you lose all the formatting done in MOX.

OA/MOX Spreadsheets can be downloaded via some OA Routine

OA/MOX Databases are harder to convert, I've only done conversions per each database, with a lot of programming to clean up and screen the data. The problem is that fields in an OA database have no data types or dictionary mapping feature, so what is "supposed to be" a user mnemonic might not be one, dates are not dates, etc etc.

Can that routine to added to a menu at anytime (I don't see it as a menu option)? One of our users would like to put some MOX files to Word and doesn't want to fix all the formatting.

Thanks!

We are using Microsoft Office (Outlook, Excel, Access).

The vast majority of stuff we have in MOX is saved email.

One method of moving emails from MOX to Outlook:
The user moves all of the email they want to save into cabinets, we
enable email forwarding on the user account in the Meditech User
Dictionary with the new email address in outlook, the user selects all
files in the cabinet and mails it to themselves in MOX. It will then
forward the contents of the cabinet (assuming it is all Text) to the
inbox in outlook using one email per text file. The user creates
personal folders in outlook to match their cabinets in MOX and drags and
drops the emails into the folders.

CORRECTION:

This is not a routine that you can place on a menu in MOX. It is called when you download a MOX file from the file options box.

If you pick a destination file with an extention of "RTF" the file will be converted to RTF, if you pick "PDF" you get a pdf, if you pick "HTM" you get HTML and if you don't use any of these you get plain text.

Sorry for the confusion.
