hi hi hi. (FMpro 8.5, mac)
in a recent overhaul, a single database (with only one table) was
split by the user into three separate files instead of into tables
within the original file. the structure is fine, but i need to
compile these files into 3 tables in a single DB.
i did a trial run on copies of the originals and know i will need to
clean up scripts, calc_fields and field definitions in specific
layouts, but i just want to see if there is anything particularly
problematic to look out for when i do the consolidation on the
originals; i have never done this and so am a little antsy about it!
also, isn't there a way to import the table/fields AND the data they
contain in one go? or do i really need to export from the original
file and import into the (new) target table?
cheers,
jef
