Importing and Exporting Selected or Sorted Records

To Import or Export selected files:

1.Open the source file.

2.Create a ‘Found Set’ (see Section 7, Finding Records) of the records to be exported or imported.

3.To import selected files open the destination file and follow the import procedures to import records from the source file. To export the selected files follow the procedures to export records.

4.The ‘Found’ records may then be sorted if desired.

To Import or Export Sorted Records:

Normally FileMaker Pro records are in order of creation, i.e., first record first, last record created last. The records can be sorted prior to importing or exporting, putting the records into a more usable order such as date, alphabetical, or numerical.

Simply perform a ‘Sort’ (see Section 8, Sorting Records) prior to importing or exporting.
