import speed

[datakeeper]

I am importing thousands of records into several different tables. I'm wondering, do I have to be on a layout for a certain table when I import into it? If not, could go to a layout that says "Importing records..." and then skip all the time it takes to redraw the screen while I'm importing? It's just taking to long to do the import and then the calculations that follow it for calc fields.

For each table, you need to be on a layout based on that table for that table's import. Each table needs to be imported separately. The target layouts need not contain any fields.

Thanks, I could have spent a couple of hours creating layouts and changing scripts to test this, but you saved me some time.
