Misschien in de 8, wie weet...

 

Het kan ook al eerder dan versie 8 :

 

FMrobot - Create Tables in FileMaker Pro 7

 

Boulder, Colorado - March 18, 2004 - New Millennium Communications announces FMrobot, a tool which automates the process of creating tables and fields in FileMaker 7 databases. The initial release is a commercial beta version for Windows only. The full commercial version is expected by the end of March. A Macintosh version is also planned.

 

FMrobot can be downloaded for evaluation and can be purchased at http://www.newmillennium.com.

 

With FMrobot, you can consolidate tables from one FileMaker file to another, as well as effectively duplicate tables within a FileMaker 7 file. You can also build a "library" of "template tables" which you can transfer into any new solution.

 

The data source for the field names and definitions is the Database Design Report produced by either FileMaker Developer 6 or FileMaker Developer 7. An imminent free upgrade of FMrobot will also support field definitions defined in records in a FileMaker database.

 

Fields may be brought over selectively. Field names and field types will always be created correctly, as will any aspects of the field definitions (calculations, auto-enter values, validations, etc.) which do not have other dependencies. For calculations, if the necessary dependencies (other fields, etc.) are not all in place, the calculation will be "commented out" (now possible in FileMaker 7!). Furthermore, if any error of this sort occurred, a comment is placed in the field comment field (new in FileMaker 7!). Later, when the dependencies have been added, you can simply uncomment the calculation.

 

The next version of FMrobot (which will be a free upgrade to initial purchasers) will include a FileMaker Pro database as a front end to the tool. If you extract your field definitions by using Design Functions, MetadataMagic, or the FMD 6 or FMD 7 Database Design Report, you will be able to import them into the database and modify the field names and definitions in a helpful interface. You will be able to use 'replace by calculation' and other time-saving features of FileMaker Pro, and then find, sort, and/or selectively mark the fields which you want to bring over to your new table.

Ik was er ook al van overtuigd dat het niet kan vanuit filemaker zelf, ik dacht aan een truukje. Het antwoord van Rony is heel interessant. Knippen en plakken is natuurlijk een optie, maar daar zit best wel redelijk veel werk aan. Het werkt namelijk toch niet alllemaal zomaar, veel scripts dienen toch te worden aangepast. Het zijn twee redelijk ingewikkelde bestanden met veel layouts en velden. Maar het weekend zal toch wel ..... weer worden, dus een goed bestede zondag.

 

bedankt voor jullie antwoorden.
