Importing records from remote Location

[Wickerman]

Hi -- a client of mine is trying to import a batch of records to a database at a remote site -- not instant web publishing, just Client-based interface using the "Open Remote" feature. She's finding she gets through the whole field matching step and does the import but gets a "69 records skipped due to errors" type of message.

I've noticed that when I access a remote file this way I can't perform a 'Save As' -- which is actually a nice protection against someone swiping your whole database? Is file import / export also disabled when accessing a file remotely?

I think it might be she hasn't accounted for the generation of the primary key field, but thought I'd ask here if there was a general feature preventing importing records remotely.

thanks

No, it has to do with inadequate matching in the mapping somehow!

Maybe some records are failing a validation?
