Importing unmatched records only

[Duchesse]

I wish to import records from database A.fp7 to B.fp7. The two databases share many of the same records, but the ones in B.fp7 are the newer, correct ones. I wish to import only those records from A.fp7 which do not exist in B.fp7. The records include a unique identifying field, so the aim of the import would be to add to B.fp7 only those records from A.fp7 in which the value of field01 does not match the value of field01 in any existing record in B.fp7. Could a script be written to do this? I am prenovice when it comes to scripting...

Before you import the records, isolate them and omit them from your found set in file A, (where your older data resides)., and leave that file open, and go to File B (Where the data is newer) and do your import.
