transfering records between files

[puttingkidsfirst]

I am trying to create a script that will copy found records from one FM file to another FM file. Could someone please help me with the basics of how to do this.

If the files have matching fiels, go to the database that you want the records transferred to and do a manual import, matching the field names.

Once complete go to scriptmaker and write a script, Import records.

This only needs one line.

Import records [restore import order, perform without dialog and specify the file they are coming from]

Now, from the file you are sending the records from you can write a script that performs the external script [import records].
