May 6, 200421 yr I have just Converted and Migrated a fairly complex Filemaker Version 6 solution and have the following problem in the Version 7 Database. When I try to import a Found Set of records from one Table into another, it imports the entire Tables records (Not the "Found Set"). Also when performing the same action on a Table in which there are several Backups of the Database in seperate folders, the "Import" now imports "ALL" records from all the Tables with the Same name on the Hard Drive. ??
March 29, 200520 yr I'm having a problem with importing records as well. This is not a conversion project. I've noticed that if I perform a find and then do an import, FileMaker will import only the records in the found set; however, if in a script I "Go to Related Records" (with "select only related records option") and then import, FileMaker will import ALL records! If I pause the script it shows 1 of 3 after going to the related records so shouldn't it work? I'm using 7v3. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Greg
March 30, 200520 yr It's just a matter of time and I will find the solution to my own problem. My problem was with my import. I had a Go to Related Records script step showing only related records from table CE_PM_3 using layout CE_PM. I then imported the records from CE_PM_3. This brought the whole set over and not the found set. I just needed to change the import to CE_PM and it only imported the record(s) I needed. Greg
March 30, 200520 yr ""Import" now imports "ALL" records from all the Tables with the Same name on the Hard Drive. " Very very bad. Never have other files with the same name. Zip or rename them. It would help if you indicated your operating system. StuffIt or Zip I guess I should say. If a file is closed, FM imports ALL records from the table; if open, it only imports the found set.
