Import, imports all records?

Featured Replies

I AM USING FM7 (this used to work in FM6)

I have (2) databases

During a script, i find one record in 1 database

the script then goes to the 2nd DB and runs an import records script from that databse (subscript)

But it imports ALL of the records not the "found set" of records?:?

How do i get it to just import the found set (in this cast just 1 record) and not all the records?: mad.gif

Thanks

I have the same problem. The most strange thing is that I could import only the found records when I used it in my local machine, but when I used it through the Filemaker Server all the records were imported.

I will really appreciate any help.

In FM7, Import will import all records from a closed database or the found set from an open database.

Could tell me how I can make a database open and import only the found set under the Filemaker Server ? Thanks.

I haven't tried this, but I think this is it:

Have your destination file (the one that is performing the import) open the source file on the server and execute a script in the source file. The script in the source file would simply find the correct set of records in the right table. Then have the destination file run the import, specifying the source file and table. This can all be scripted.

When I selected the File in the Filemaker Server by clicking "Add File..." button for the Specify data source of Import Records script, the relative path (file: filename) is shown on the File Path list. But when I click on the OK button, I got the error message "The file cannot be found..". So I could close the window only after I added the Filemaker Network path (fmnet:/IPaddress/filename). But after I added the Filemaker Network Path, my script always is importing all the records, not the found set.

I have been spending a whole week to find the solution, but I still cannot find it. I will really appreciate any kind of help.

It's a known bug, and a substantial one. You are not going to fix it. You'll have to wait for Filemaker Inc.
