If you import records from a closed file or an open file that is not displaying any windows, all the records are imported, regardless of any found set.Ĭlaris Pro: To import a FileMaker Pro file, convert the file to the Claris Pro format first. (See Finding records.) Claris Pro or FileMaker Pro determines the found set to import from the foreground window in the file. To import only a portion of the records in a file, open the file and perform a find so that the found set in the current window contains only the records you want to import. To import related data, import data directly from the related table. Repeat the import process for each table that you want to import. During the import process, choose which table in the file that you want to import.

If the source file contains multiple tables, you can only import data from a single table at a time. When you import data from another Claris Pro or FileMaker Pro file, you can import data from one table in the source file into one table in the target file.

Importing from a Claris Pro or FileMaker Pro file

You can import from and export to files in Claris Pro format (.claris) with Claris Pro and in FileMaker Pro 12 format (.fmp12) with FileMaker Pro.
