Look in the Moho manual, Appendix section, "Magpie Setup". Magpie Pro has built-in support for Moho, but for the regular Magpie you need to define a custom output format.

done that the only thing im confused with is

after file is saved its not a switch file.

it has to be something ive done wrong

ive narrowed it down to when i save the magpie work into moho
at user define form its not going into switch data file

i filled out the format boxes like the tuteral 5.2 sayes

When you save the file, put ".dat" at the end of the filename. So, instead of "myfile", you would save "myfile.dat".

If that doesn't do it, try opening the file in Notepad (it's really just text anyway). What does it look like in Notepad?
