I have just been exporting my updated datasets from R6 for upload to NBN Gateway as NBN Exchange Format.

Two of my R6 surveys are in a tag.  I had hoped to export them both in one file by calling the export while the tag is selected (as I would for a single survey).

Nothing in the interface suggests that this is not permitted.  I am asked for the destination file, and the export initially runs the external validation checks on Sample and Survey.

Then it asks for the ancillary fields (Recorder, Determiner, etc.) to be exported, and when I OK that, everything instantly stops.  Not a crash or hang - it just stops, and the dialogue and main R6 windows can be closed as usual.  No file is created.

I have not been able to find in Help an explicit indication that tagged surveys *can* be exported in this way, but it seems that either the interface is unhelpful (if the action is illegal it should be trapped at the start, and not after some of the processing has been done), or there is a bug in R6 that does not allow the export to run to completion.

I using a stand-alone under Vista.

It works fine using an export filter defining the two surveys.
