Trouble importing from one DB to another

[Brainiac58]

I'm trying to import data from one database made with FM Pro 8.5 to another. I created the layouts in the new database and then created the tables. I went to layout mode and to field control setup & assigned the data to display in each field from the new tables. When I go to browse mode, each field still says .

When I try to import the data from my earlier database to the new one, it only allows me to select as the target, not the table I created in the new database.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and how to fix this problem? Thanks.

First of all, if you created the layouts first and them the tables second, did you reassign your layouts to display the records from the correct Table Occurence?

If not, go to Layout Mode, and under the layouts menu, go to layout setup and check to see if you area displaying the correct records.
