Data Copying

[tiby]

I'm trying to make a script that copies data from one database to another. Specifically, I've got a contact manager database that I'd like to be able to hit a button and copy the relevant contact information (name, company, fax number) into a new record in my fax database. Any help would be appreciated!

Open Fax file

Perform an import, importing the fields you will want to do automatically.

Create a script that Imports Records -- set the file you want to import from, and perform without dialogue.

Close Fax file

Open Contact Manager file.

Create a script with the following steps:

Show All Records

Omit Record

Show Omitted

Perform Script [External Script]

-- the external script is the one you created in Fax

That's all!
