Hey.

I imagine that is some sort of a proprietary data file, using by the Omnis program?
If so, does the Omins application not provide any sort of export functionality?

Honestly, I had never heard of this program until now, so I'm afraid I won't be much help, beyond pointing out the obvious :)
Does the Omnis developer have a support forum you can use?
(Odds are you'll have better luck there than posting this in a MySQL forum)

I manually was able to extract the data, using dbase files But this was good only for a handful of tables. I am running into errors on the other tables and cant find a solution on the web to handle this.
The export tool is not very good

Thanks for the reply

Unfortunately that is the price you pay when you go with proprietary software that does not have a large user base.

I've never heard of Omnis, but I do see some kind of answer provided on experts exchange if you don't mind paying $50 for it.
