Re: Ecco Pro and InfoQube. A follow up

Hi Pierre

I am still trying out IQ.
I had some trouble importing my ecco file over to IQ as it is quite large.

I then tried copying items (with child items) from ecco pro to clipboard
and paste it over to InfoQube but it doesnt work to put the child sub-items
into the hierarchy.I also experimented with the export function, but I
couldn't get it to work. I also tried pasting some text with tabs in it,
hoping it would move some of the text to be child items, but it didn't work.

What is the simplest way to copy and items with children from ecco to
infoqube?

Thanks Pierre,

Cyril
