throwmethedisc Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Hi, folks It seems like this should be a standard function, but I am at a loss. I will be importing books (key = ISBN number) into an existing database. I would like the import process to SKIP any book records (read: ISBNs) that already exist. Can someone tell me how (if) this will work? Many thanks
comment Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Define the ISBN field to be unique, validate always.
throwmethedisc Posted January 9, 2009 Author Posted January 9, 2009 Outstanding. When I run an ADD New Records import with these settings, it functions as I hoped. The one new test record was added, and none of the existing items were disturbed (though they were part of the import test file). Many Thanks
