¨¨¨

1.- Add a calculation field:

You create a field with all the data to export delimited with slash this way:

Firstname\ Surname\Company\ Email\Opt1\ Opt2\ Opt3\ Opt4\ Opt5\ Opt6\ Opt7\ Opt8\ Opt9\ Opt10"
or if not custom data needed just "Firstname\ Surname\Company\ Email\\\\\\\\\\"

¨

You can do this easily creating a calculation field and a formula like:
Firstname & "\" & Surname & "\" & Company & "\" & Email & "\" & Opt1 &"\" & Opt2 & "\" & Opt3 & "\" & Opt4 & "\" & Opt5 & "\" & Opt6 & "\" & Opt7 & "\" & Opt8 & "\" & Opt9 & "\" & Opt10
where 'Firstname', 'Surname'...should be replaced with your database fields.
or if you don't use optional fields, just Firstname & "\" & Surname & "\" & Company & "\" & Email & "\\\\\\\\\\"

2.- Create the export script:

Then create a script and assign it to a button. The script should send an AppleEvent to MaxBulk.

¨

3.- Define AppleEvent:

Something like:
Send Apple Event ["MaxBulk Mailer", "MaxB", "DATA"]
