Transfer Data between Tables in 1 file

[damon_albran]

Hello,

I have a problem of import data from another table in same file. I have a script to import data from Table B to Table A, I used filemaker network path "fmnet:/192.168.1.11/testfile", because this is a sharing database. However, when remote user run this script, their FM7 crash and quit. Only host can run this script with no problem. Is it a FM bug or I used a wrong file path?

Please help!

Damon

The way to handle "imports" between tables in a file is not intuitive.

In a local file you can indeed open the same file you are in for import. By giving the import file name in the import dialog. For a hosted file the similar process would be to open the hosted file using the Remote button on the Import Open file dialog.

But there is something that feels wrong in opening the same file you are already in for any function - you are after all, already there.
