Defining field names by importing

[sandyinlet]

I have a very long list of field names to define in a new table. Is it possible to import a text file and have FMP9 define the fields automatically? At the moment there are returns separating the field names.

Haven't found a way as yet.

do a find & replace in a text editor and make the fields tab separated then you should be able to import the file creating a new table, column headers (first row) should become the field names.

Yes it's possible and very simple.

With a text editor change those returns with tabs, save the text file and drag that file on the FM app icon.

FM will ask you if the first line is the names of the fields and you'll say yes.

Thanks, that works.
