I really need help with this one peeps...

[Inky Phil]

I have a simple import routine that goes from table to table and imports data from matching tables in a folder called 'temp' which is in the same folder as my solution. This is part of my upgrade routine.

This script works fine in the original solution but as soon as I create a runtime of it the import routine just doesn't work.

On further investigation if I open the runtime files with advanced and look at the import scripts the actual import steps have lost the source fields. The file refs are there,the folder 'temp' is there and the files are in it but as far as my runtime is concerned the source has gone.

Can anybody help me with this please.

I am sure this used to work and the only thing I hsve changed is that I have gone to 8 and then 8.5 (both advanced) - I am blooming certain that this used to work in 7 but I have none of my 7 copies available now

Help PLEEZE!

When you create your solution are you removing the [Full Access] account? Does the active account have the export privilege on?

Is your solution single file or multi-file?

Are you renaming your files when you create your solution to something different than the filemaker version?

During the upgrade routine are you using the new runtime application with the new database files (and NOT the new database with the OLD application)?

When you upgraded from version 7 to 8.5, did you rebuild the indexes of the databases, i.e. fully recover the solution? (I read that helps, no experience of this one).
