Importing limits?

[BeckhamTX]

I am using FM 7, and trying to import records from another database system.

There are about 50 fields / record I need to import.

When I try importing all these fields, I import 481 records.

I figured there might be some limitation on how much you can import, so I just imported two fields, and got about 2,500 records imported. Since there are almost 5,000 records in the other system, I tried just importing 1 field, which contains just 2 characters/record. I still only got about 2,500 records imported in.

Does filemaker have a limit on importing (either # of records or size of all data imported?)

and if so does anyone have experience with this/any useful tips?

thank you.
