About this Article:

For developers, FileMaker Pro 7 is a quantum leap ahead of 6 and one need look no further than the Import and Export Records script steps to see why. Now that you can specify your options directly in ScriptMaker, there's no longer a need to run dummy Imports and Exports for the sole purpose of writing a script. This is a drastic improvement for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it greatly simplifies debugging. This article shows you how to use the Import Records and Export Records script steps in FileMaker Pro 7.
