Subject Re: Memo exporting From Michael Rozlog <mrozlog@dbasellc.com> Date Wed, 29 Oct 2014 17:15:59 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Hello All, We do not offer a 15-day money back on the utils like dbfExport. Unfortunately we had people returning them after a few days and getting the needed functionality and wanted a refund, because it was not needed anymore. Since they are so low-cost and do specific things there is no 15-day money back on them. However, if you have an issue we want to know and get it in an update or the next release.
