Hi Greg,

If you want to export the contents of a field to an
RTF-file, try the following :
--
  put the rtfText of field "foobar" into \
      url ("file:" & filepath & ".rtf")
--

Of course you can only export the rtf that fields
support ; if you need access to more rtf-features
(such as tables) you can make a template rtf file in
Word, fill it up with the actual data and save that to
a file like you were attempting.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
