FM6 TO FM9

[aro]

HI I'm trying to move my records from fm6 to fm9 I’m trying to use .dif after import no errors but some of records didn’t import correctly wrong information in wrong fields or just empty records. Nr of records in fm9 after import is exactly the same as in fm 6.

Any suggestions?

Why not just allow FM9 to convert your FM6 file and then use the FILEMAKER import?

The DIF format only supports text - so maybe you have some fields that cannot receive their data - DATE fields for example.

Repeating fields will also cause you grief in DIF format.
