I currently have a server the houses a db, and often have to import data from an external source. Often, this external source provides me an excel file, while another provides me another fm db.

In both chases, I need to take the target db offline in order to import a file.

Is there anyway I can import new data into a file that is live on a FM Server?

Thanks,

Bob

You shouldn't have to take the hosted file offline to import. There must be more to this.

Is the file hosted with FM Server, or does the file love on a shared network volume?
