Exporting from FMP6 for FMP8

[Ricardo]

Hi Guys,

i need to find a way to export the meta data from my FMP6 db to my FMP8 db...both databases are the same just in different versions of FMP...i had to do some development of a new table in the FmP8 db. Thats why i cant just do a full migration!

I do an XML export but it wont import the xml file into the FMP8 db as there are errors such as unicode!! : : : .

The database is a fair size so i cant scroll through the xml export looking for illegal chracters etc as this will take months!!

Any help please?:

Thanks.

What do you mean by "meta data"? And what do you mean by "errors such as unicode". Version 6 doesn't support Unicode, so what errors can you get?

meta data = text

im getting the unicode errors when i try importing the generated xml file into FMPro8

If you want help with this, I suggest you sit down and provide DETAILED information about what you want to do, and the problems you have run into. These telegrams are not helping.

Have you tried exporting in the different formats such as; comma or tab separated text, merged; etc.
