can this be done?

You can import a "merge" file, extension of ".mer", which would be the names of the fields, separated by commas (no quotes needed). No returns, no data needed (but could be, also comma-separated, with quotes).

But that's only going to work for table 1; in other words, import the above to create a new FileMaker file, and get named fields.

Yes!

Did you want to know how?

The field names needs to be the first line or record. Read about the File Formats that FileMaker can import and export to, in either the Online Help or FM Manual, and then select the one that maches the text file format you have.

Hi Fenton,

I have got to get faster at answering questions. frown.gif

I'm not trying to step on your response, and I'm only going to leave this post, because of my suggestion about about the File Formats
