The Export Contacts command creates a tab-delimited text file. In FileMaker, just use the "Open" command in the file menu, and from the popup, select "tab-delimited text file." Then, open the file of exported contacts. This will read in the file and automatically create a database for you with all the required fields defined! The first record, you will find, will contain the names given by Entourage to the fields; the fields created by FMP will be named "f1", "f2" and so on, up to "f70". You will then need to go into Define Fields and copy the name from Record 1 into the field name, and click the Save button, to change the names of all the fields. FileMaker will have created all the fields as Text fields; you will probably want to change some to Number, and some to Date. Text works for most of them however. Then, you can start designing screen layouts to your heart's content, or reports, or whatever. -- Add me to Palm/Visor: http://signature.coola.com/?[EMAIL PROTECTED] Allen Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> XNS name: =Allen Watson Applescripts for Outlook Express and Entourage: <http://homepage.mac.com/allenwatson/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To search the archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
