  1. Thank you for your response. I will consider creating a temporary table to copy the values to for the sake of a value list, but before I do I will continue to see if there is any better way to do things... maybe my approach isn't the best... Cheers.
  2. I'm trying to setup a value list that uses values from a field, but when I click the "use values from field" checkbox and the "specify fields for value list" form appears, everything on it is disabled. Does anyone know what circumstances prevent you from setting up a field to use for a value list? Just in case this might have something to do with it, I'm using a MySQL database and trying to use filemaker as an interface. All of the tables used are Mysql tables. Cheers.
  3. Hi, I have a FM database that uses MySQL tables. I need to import thousands of records from a CSV file, but don't really know how to because when you go to import records, it doesn't seem to allow you select the mysql table you want to import to. Is there a way to do it? Cheers.
  4. Thanks for your reply. I setup a clone and put in completely new records, and the error did not occur. I tried removing the records from the original that had the errors, but the error returned when I re-added them again. Anyway I just realized that the actual records have errors and it's because of the sloppy interface I've created. Its allowing me to change values that shouldn't be changed. Oops. Cheers.
  5. I'm fairly new to Filemaker and am having trouble exporting records to a .CSV file. Most of the exported data is correct, except for some of the dates. One of the records is the date 2007/04/06 and is changed to 2007/02/06. Two other dates appear to be swapped. The only thing all affected dates have in common is that they are the last record displayed in a portal. The two records that appear to have swapped dates are the first and last record displayed in the portal. Only the dates are affected - all of the other fields remain correct. Is there something I'm missing..? Something I should read with regards to exporting data from layouts with portals..?
