I forgot to clarify - yes, I did create a new blank RH project before I tried the import and there were no errors in my FM file. Long story short - after rebooting, and starting FM and creating a small FM primer file with just a few paragraphs, I imported the primer file into a blank project and all was fine. I then was able to import one by one all of my other FM files that I could not before. (and yes, I had rebooted and reopened FM and RH and created a new blank RH project several times before - the only difference was this FM "primer" file.)
Matt Sullivan suggested this trick to me - why it works he's not sure, but he has seen the trick work before and it helped me. After I get the project the way that I want it, I can delete the primer file and should be good to go. Thanks Matt.

I have standalone FM 9 (all patched) and standalone RH 8.0.2 installed on a 64 bit Win7 system. Whenever I open RH and request to import a FM file, I get one of the following two messages: 1.) Import error - failed to complete import. the import function grinds and grinds and then times out with this error message. 2.) the "x".fm is NOT a FM file. Make sure that it is open and is a FM file. Uh, yea, it is and it is open, otherwise, I wouldn't be trying to import it. I am frustrated, stymied, panicked - you name it. I am on the hook for OLH for a client and I am at a complete loss. I can't get anywhere with RH. Where do I start, what do I do? Thanks!
