Hi. I use FM 8.5 Advanced. I copied Fields from a file to another. Then I copied a layout from the parent file to the one that have just taken the copied fields but the layout came with the fileds in it blank. (Blank Text fields. Is there a way I can copy a layout from file to file.

Edited by Guest

The short answer is probably "no." Layouts are based on Table Occurrences. Without the exact same named TO, the layout that you copy/paste will not be able to "find" its fields, as the TO changed.

Hi Barbara,

I haven't tried this yet, but this thread from the FMPExperts Lists sounds like it might work.

Link The idea is in the posts by Ralph Leamont, and Richard DeShong.
