Export Custom Objects

Is there a way to export a custom object created in Sandbox to a file or another form?

The intent is to not lose changes on the custom object when a refresh is done

Perhaps best way is to create package and include the object and tab definition, and then upload it to appexchange before doing the refresh. Then you can restore it after the refresh is complete.

I package the custom objects and this packages up all the fields the trigger, validation rules, apex classes reference.
These fields are also the fields on the standard objects,

When I or somebody else brings this package down to another salesforce instance, would the standard objects fields we overwritten? What is the effect on existing data? I could not find documentation on this

Thanks in advance

there is application named "apsona for salesforce" which export the whole custom or standard object not the data... if u need to export only data it can also be done by this application very easily...

all u need u should have a salesforce account  beacuse i does not works on developer force i mean it is not a applicaiton for developer edition.....

 

the application availabal at  http://apsona.com/pages/sfdc/index.html
