Question: by mikeh123 » Fri Jul 09, 2010 2:52 pm

Just wondering if there is any required process for exporting and importing.

I have the DB up and running and in use but am making changes offline. I exported contacts and accounts then imported them into the new DB.

Of course this has really messed thing up (prob with related accounts and contacts - didnt think about that). I'll need to work on it live I reckon but for future reference whats the easiest way to export the whole DB and re-import into a new fresh shell. ??

Thanks

Hello Mike,

Are you transferring records from one copy of FM Starting Point to a new copy? If so, there is an special "Import" feature that you will find in the "Preferences" module under the "Import" tab.

Are you transferring records from an old FileMaker database to your copy of FMSP? If so, select "File > Import Records > File..." this will allow you to transfer records directly from one database to the other. OR you can create a script in the "Script Manager". You will need one script step, "Import Record". This will lead you through the same process as importing through the command in the Menu bar, but it will save your import options.

Are you transferring records from an non-FileMaker database to your copy of FMSP? If so, follow the second explanation, but instead of importing from a "File" choose the appropriate data source.

If you have any follow-up questions feel free to post them here.

Best Regards,

Calvin Mosiman
