K3lso Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Is it possible to automatically "save" or "export" a field or record from FM to Foxpro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transpower Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 You'll have to use a format that's common to both; probably .dbf will work. A better method would be to use ODBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Smith Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Hi K3lso, and welcome to the Forum. Take a look at the Online Help (with FileMaker open) by typing or pasting this "file formats, About file formats" into the Index window and clicking on "Display" button, and you will see a complete list of the file types that FM can export and import, along with any special amenities such as the delimiters, with or without field names, etc.. Then just match the one that provides what FoxPro can import (assuming there is a way of finding this out in FoxPro), and choose it in the Export Menu.

QuinTech Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 FoxPro should be able to import comma-separated (CSV) files or DBF files. Most database applications are. Try exporting your FileMaker data to one of those two formats. File > Export Records make sure the file type is set to "csv" or "dbf".
