[sims] Student Photographs to Excel

[Taylor1]

Has anyone used the Student Photographs to Excel Utility successfully? I've followed the supplied instructions but am getting an error when I click on the 'Convert' button. Will post on MyAccount too but thought I might get a quicker response by asking here too.

What you trying to do? Not sure why you'd want a Excel file full of children photos? If you want to get the photos out of SIMS to put into another system, and for some odd reason you don't have the originals, SalamanderSoft has a (free) tool -> https://www.salamandersoft.co.uk/sims-photo-exporter/

Mainly just interested to see how it works. I'm used to running SIMS photo reports and wondered if using the conversion to excel would be more flexible. Sometimes the group we want a photo report for aren't a "SIMS" group say for a school trip. I know I can filter the resulting list by manually removing from the SIMS preview screen or setting up a UDF but both are long winded so thought i might try out this utility.
