MelJ Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 I would like to be able to perform a find and then import or copy the found set into new records in the same table while modifying a couple of fields in the process. I've tried exporting then importing but it's very slow. Any Ideas? Thanks, Mel
IdealData Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 All of this depends where you are exporting and importing to/from. If you create a another table in the same file that is a straight copy of the target table then you can use the IMPORT function both ways... 1. Do the find 2. Switch to a layout that features the "copy" table 3. Import 4. Switch back layout 5. Import You need to "clean" your "copy" table before starting, but the IMPORT function should be a lot faster as the data is never leaving the file.
