Importing Broken in FM8....?

[Rob Halliday]

I have a script which says:

Import Records [No dialog; "patch.fp7", Update matching; Windows ANSI]

This worked under FM7.

Under FM8 it says 'Your access privileges do not allow you to perform this action'.... even when you are Admin with full access privileges.

If you call it from another Script (with error capture turned on) it works if you have full access. With more limited access it seems to run but, ultimately, doesn't do the import.

Anyone know what has changed between FM7 and FM8 with regard to all of this?

OK, never mind, I've figured it out: the 'patch' file did not have 'export' allowed, so the 'permissions' error was coming from patch trying to export rather than the main file trying to import.

This behaviour does seem to have changed between 7 and 8, though - perhaps 7 wasn't actually working properly in this regard...?
