I'm exporting data into by Casio BOSS using 4.1b. I have many topic pages. How do I export the related entries for each topic? They do not seem to export properly with the proper heading/data. For example, my topic is Microsoft and my related entries are Visual Basic, Excel, WinWord. In addition, towards the end of the download I receive a GPF. Is this a known problem? Thank you.

Wayne, have you downloaded the patch for 4.1b yet? This may help. If it doesn't, you may want to try exporting categories instead of topics. This generally works better. Dean Okna Tech

Let me rephrase my question, I wasn't clear: I'm exporting to my Casio Boss using the built-in BOSS export. My field to export is <PAGE NAME>. When it comes to Topic Pages, the export seems to only export the first entry even though I have several. The basic export feature allows one to export Topics. I do not wish to use this feature however as it defeats the benefits of the built-in BOSS export. Is this a bug or I'm I doing something incorrectly? No, I haven't loaded the patch to 4.1b. Frankly, I have recently downloaded updates to fix problems and 4.1b has corrected some and broken features that worked previously. I'm becoming quite uncomfortable with the products stability with all these fixes. I really do not wish to 'try' another download to see if it resolves a problem. I would rather have you tell me it will or will not. Thank you.

Wayne, If you have 4.1b we would highly recommend that you also download the patch; it is up to you. Regarding your question. Most likely the items that are cloned entries; these will not export. Are these entries lighter grey than the rest? Dean Okna Tech

I would rather wait a few weeks and download the latest and greatest patch. Why do you highly recommend that I download the current patch and not wait? None of my entries are lighter grey. They all appear as black and have independent information in each one. Are you able to export my described problem with no errors?

Wayne, Dean recommended downloading the patch because each patch will successively build on the previous one. Therefore, when patch two comes out you won't be able to install it successfully unless you have patch one. If you're using the direct Casio download, it won't export topics. The Casio link only exports categories. If you prefer using the direct link, create a category for each topic page and use that. Sincerely, Martine Carlson Okna Technical Support
