Cannot Find 'Import' Button

Featured Replies

I have been confounded by the absence of the 'Import' button in my define table dialogue box. I would like to import the database schema, but not the data itself, from one file to another.

According to the help files, and even a video that I found, there should be an 'Import' button under the 'Create,' 'Change' and 'Delete' buttons, but I do not have this 'Import' feature. I am using FileMaker Pro 8.5v1 (not the Advance version).

If anyone can help on this, I would very much appreciate it!

"Import", "Copy", and "Paste" are buttons available in the Advanced version of FM8/8.5.

You can still import a table from another file through the Import Records dialog (look in the pop-up menu on the right side).

Hello, and thanks for your quick response.

Unfortunately, I do not have the 'Insert' button--I have the first row ('Create,' 'Change,' 'Delete') but I do not have a row under that, even though one did appear in the training video on the FM website.

Thanks, Ender. You have saved me lots of grief (again!). I appreciate it. Charles
