Import text file into global field(without dialog)

Featured Replies

Hi,

I'm using FM Pro 6.

I'd like to import a small text file (couple of lines only)

into a global text field.

How can I tell "Import Records" script which field I want to import the text file into?

I do not want "Import Filed Mapping" dialog to be displayed.

(Perform without dialog)

Is it possible to do something like: Import Records[From "c:input file.text" into FieldName]?

Do the import once manually. Then set up a script to do the import (it will use the last import order), but do not specify the file name. Then when the script runs, it will ask for the file but not allow the user to change the import order.

Is there a way to pre-configure "Import Record" command so the user shouldn't run the import manualy (even once)?

The user should not run the import manually. The developer should. Once the developer has done the import, create a script with Import Records [Restore, No dialog] so that the user never sees the import dialog.

It worked!

Thank you
