Support / Database Export to Excel only gibberish
« on: December 05, 2014, 07:05:58 PM »
I've already read all the others posts on using the database, but I really wish the database could export in a useable form. Period. I was glad to see you finally offered the option for export to Excel. However, what I get is perhaps three fields of clear text and all others are just lengthy strings of numbers. For example, in a Country field, instead of Ethiopia, I get 495849857487498798475948784759874398798345793475. The whole thing is like this.

As I've logged over 350 roasts using Toastmaster, it would be great to have that data available in a useable form since a Roaster Certification would increase the marketability of my coffees.

I've tried various SQL software, even paid $29 for one, and the result with those was even worse. No useable fields nor data whatsoever.

As I'm no newbie, this is all a bit frustrating and leads me to this request. Hey, I'll even send you guys the database so you can try exporting to anything that might work. At this point, it's the only flaw in what has proven to be a very useful bit of software.

Thanks.
