I have a FM 7 solution with multiple files. When I try importing a found set into file1.fp7 from file2.fp7, it imports the entire record set, not the found set. I know this was suppose to be fixed with version 3 and it was when I did it on Win2000 but it doesn't work with XP. Any idea why it works on Win2000 and not XP?

I also have Windows XP and I haven't had any problems. I have a script that imports only found set from a related file on a daily basis.

If you could attach the file, we can look at it and see what could be the problem.

I know my solution works. The script works on Win2000 and I tried it today on a different XP machine and the script works. So the question is why does the script only work on 1 of the XP machines.

Vs. 7 brought a change on import.

In prior versions, if a file was closed, it would only import the current found set from the closed file. In vs. 7/8, ALL records from a closed file are imported (because no window is displayed). A found set will only be imported if the file is open (and a window is displayed).

I've performed daily imports for the past year and haven't noticed any problems or differences between Win2000 or XP - and we used 7.0v1 all that time.

And the answer was...

go into the script and click Specify data source

clear anything in the File Path

add the file path again

Still don't know why that worked. I am guessing this problem had something to the with the file extensions been visible.
