I believe I've found a nasty problem in FM7 (Developer). When importing a comma delimitted text file FM7 chokes on a 13 record text file, and only brings in 2 lines. (FM6 & FM5 correctly bring in all 13). Looking at the data, I see a double quote symbol at the end of a line that I'm sure is causing the problem. If I substitute a word (Inch) in lieu of the symbol(") fm7 import works ok. This is a serious problem for anyone importing raw text files from external sources (main frames, other applications, etc). Definitely not plug for plug compataible with the previous version - can anyone here speak for FileMaker acknowledging the problem? I can provide examples if need be.

Sorry if this is a repeat - I posted this in FM Developer area and did not get a single reply.
