How a variable to a file via the "action" properties on a button

[#1]

I want to have users click a button and export a variable value to a file. The "action" properties for a button show fields, but I can find no way to export a variable. I am a newbie, so I'd like to avoid scripting.

thanks!

I don't think there is anction for that porpouse, however you can put the variable in a table and make the user click the XL export button. The dim and expression might look something like this:

Dim -> valuelist('v1','v2','v3')

Expr -> pick( match( valuelist( 'v1','v2','v3' ) , 'v1','v2','v3' ) , '$(v1)' , '$(v2)', '$(v3)')

There is an action to export to a file. Works fine. I can even export multiple objects with the append option.

I want to export a "variable" retrieved from a user input. I even tried to spoof this by adding a bogus field and assigning a variable to it. Then writing; that field to the file. It does not seem to work.
