You also specify the fields you want to import. The contents of all fields you

select to import, in all matching records, will overwrite data in the target file,

even if the field in the source file is blank.

When the target file contains a found set, only the found records are updated.

(If the source file is another FileMaker Pro file, you can also import only from

a found set.)

The following example shows how a record in a target file appears before and

after being updated by a matching record in a source file.

About the importing process

The basic steps for importing records are:

1. Make a backup copy of the target file you’re importing into.

2. If the source file is a FileMaker Pro file, perform a find so that the found set

in the current window contains only the records you want to import.

3. Open the target file, and if it has multiple tables, select a layout that shows

records from the table you want to import data into.

4. If you’re updating existing or matching records, make sure the found set in

the target file contains only the records you want to change or update.
