hi I am converting from ver 5/6 to 8.5

I have a daily routine to import data using a csv file unfortunately one of the fields can and does contain " single occurances of quotes, as part of a description..the problem is wheras the old version had no problem with this

ver 8.5 does and on import i lose hundreds of records! altering the source is not really an option..importing via excel works perfectly but this would add an extra complication to the process......ideas would be greatly appreciated

CSV exports haven't changed with FMP 8.5, but a lot of other stuff has, including how FMP 7+ handles word separators.

Have you read the big migration document? It has a lot of information on what's changed and what to do about it.
