FileMaker import

[dangkevin]

Hi all,

I have been searching on the internet on how to alphabetize the "Source Fields" during the import process in the "Import Field Mapping" step. In this step you can choose a lot of options like alphabetize the "Target Fields" alphabetically, last import order, and other options for the "Target Fields", but none for the "Sources Fields". It would help a lot if we can alphabetize the "Source Fields" as we have a lot fields in a table. So far, I could not find anything yet on how to do this or is it even possible? My boss told me she saw they alphabetizes the "Source Fields" in some convention.

Does anybody know if it is possible to alphabetize the "Source Fields"? Is it by default, follow the creation order of the fields?

Another problem I saw with the import is that when we are trying to import from 1 file to another, we saw a ton of blank fields in the middle and one field or so at the end. Does anybody know how to remove those blank fields during the import? We never see those blank fields in FileMaker 5.5.

Thanks.
