hi i started working in filemaker in version 3 (i think) and developed a management system for my business that consisted of all of 50 related files.

when i migrated to version 7, i was obviously able to to rewrite the system into a single file.

at the time, however, i thought it would help me to use 2 related files instead of one (one is primarily contact management and the other job tracking).

now, i feel there may be advantages in merging these to files into a single file.

is there an easy way to do this, or am i in for a major operation?

i should add i am now on 8.5 advanced

Major operation really.

You can copy tables and scripts with advanced, but not relationships...

thanks

this is not a major problem – i just wondered whether i was missing something.

i guess i feel that filemaker see the full set of tables and relationships and might have an automated feature to do this.

it wouldn't be a bad addition, as it is often easier to visualise solutions and build them without distraction in separate files, even if it not the best way to end up.

I agree..
