Import from spreadsheet

[ianmuir]

I get spreadsheets sent from various departments like "accounts" or "personnel" and others.

I have no problem importing them into filemaker.

I would like import them knowing where they had come from.

If I got a sheet of 5000 names from "personnel" when i import them into filemaker i need to have some way

of knowing that 5000 was from "personnel"

The same with the other spreadsheets as well.

can this be done?

Yes. Make a "source" field in the table, and after performing the import, use the replace command to set an appropriate value. This can also be scripted.

Thanks, any chance of an example script?
