May 11, 200124 yr Every day I need to import records from a primary dbase1 into 8 other db's, depending on the record type. I know I can perform a FIND in dbase1, and then open the targeted dbase and perform the IMPORT, but its tedious to do this eight times, and I'm a bit lazy . I know I can write a script to perform the eight FINDS in dbase1, but is it possible to include in that script, a comand that: 1) Opens up the target dbase 2) Commands that target dbase to import the records 3) closes that dbase, and moves on to the next FIND and target dbase Then I could perform all 8 imports with one button click. Or am I going about this all wrong? Any ideas are welcome!
May 11, 200124 yr Yes, you can run a script in another database. When you select the "Perform Script" step, you can select the script in another database. Also, you can open other databases with the "Open" script step. As for whether you are going about this the right way, maybe you could just set up appropriate relationships between the other databases and your dbase1, and then have the other databases display the data from it without having to do any importing at all.
