Recordback, for stranded FileMaker files

Field notes

Recordback says it reads the values stored in each record rather than running FileMaker itself. That means the export preserves field values and names, but not layout formatting, scripts, or calculations that were not stored. For older text, the page guesses between Mac Roman and Windows encoding and lets users switch if accented characters appear wrong; it also notes that date-like values may remain text in Excel.
