Import 'trick'?

[ron G]

I am usisng FM 12 03 advanced.

 

I consistently get this problem and can't get a handle on the underlying cause (besides my not getting it).... 

 

I have a medical records application.  There is a table for patients and table for doctors.

 

I have a import script that goes to a layout for doctors and again for patients and deletes all records.  This works.

 

I then, via script, goto import using the same layouts and find that the doctor table is trying to use Patients as a source.?

 

Weird.  Why Patients?  When I uncheck 'perform without dialog" I can see that the source is Patients.  So, I reselect Doctors

and it works.  I save the script.  Sometimes, the source stays as Doctors.  Sometimes it reverts back to Patients.  Once I get it

to perform consistently several times it stays well behaved.  I dont' see what causes this behavior.  I suspect there is something

fundamental I don't 'get'.

 

So, the question is "What am I not getting about mapping?" 

 

Thanks

I am unsure, Ron.  Can you create a single small demo file showing exactly the behavior you describe?  I personally have not experienced what you describe and I would be interested in seeing it.

I needed to manually (with dialog) run through the script and set the source and target tables.  Then it works.  Go figure...
