How do I create a new table from an Excel spreadsheet with 1500
records and tons of columns (they will be my fields)?
I don’t want to create the table first and then import the data
into the new table. I want to create the table directly in my
existing FMP 9 database. The columns headings are the field names.
(I actually have 5 Excel spreadsheets I want to convert directly.)
Thanks,

Drag the spreadsheet icon onto the FileMaker Pro program icon.
FileMaker will recognize the file format and ask if you want the 1st
row of the incoming spreadsheet to be treated as data or field names.
Choose the obvious and click OK. Away you go.
