I just moved from FMP 5 to 7 and have encountered some bugs. Are these normal?

One thing:

In one layout I put text in a field and realized that I wanted that text in different field found in a different layout. when I went to the desired layout and field, when I tried to copy the text and paste it, the text came through incorrectly. It copy totally different text from a another field totally unrelated.

That's one problem.

The second problem that I have encountered is that I just tried to export some records. There were only four fields. It brought in the information incorrectly into excel (exported as a cvs file). There was information missing, records attached to inaccurate lines and totally wrong text in the database (like it pulled it from a another field somewhere).

It's all very confusing and seems like some major bugs. What's happening?

It is possible that either the data or structure is corrupted. Try "cleaning" the data first, as exported from the FM5 version (if possible)

I had one case in FM5 where text formatting codes "hidden" in a text box were causing havoc
