Relating two different databases

[Dagel]

I have two databases dbA.fp7 and dbB.fp7.

dbA consists of two fields and 1,500 records: articleID and articleBody. The text in articleBody has been styled (bold, italic, font color, etc.) within FileMaker itself.

I need to get the styled text into dbB.

I've exported the articleID into the dbB but since the text formatting is lost in the export, I was hoping to create a copy and paste script but don't know if there a way to set up a relationship between two completely separate databases?

Thank you!

It's not possible to export INTO an existing Filemaker file. What you probably did is export to a plain text file (losing all formatting in the process), then import into Filemaker. If you import directly from the source .fp7 file, the formatting will be preserved.

Yes, there is. See Help > Working with related tables and files > Working with the relationships graph > Adding tables to the relationships graph (#5).

You're right. Thanks for the help!
