agtjazz Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Hello... I am trying to compare the old database to the new one I am developing. In the old database, there are many many value lists and I would like to print them out or export them or something so that I can logically figure out if they are needed in the new database. Any way to do that in plain ole Filemaker (not Advanced)? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Searight Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) You could write a looping script that sets some global field to the values (one by one) returned by the function ValueListNames( ) and then insert the values from the function ValueListItems( ) after each ValueListName in the field. Afterwards you could just print that field for easier viewing. Make sense? Hope it helps! PS You could also check out this recent thread.

coconutt2000 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I wonder if you could use that technique to dump the value lists into a related table with record creation turned on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
