in data from an old database to the new one, although it is
nice to "rebuild" all your data from scratch.
Possible problems: You have to be careful of the order you
load data because of contstraints. If you've made changes to
the structure of any of the tables, a simple "unload data" command
will not work to bring it in. If your tables have autonumbers, then
you must remember to recalculate the next autonumber for every
single one of those columns.
I prefer to keep a running list of structural changes I make, and then
just bring in the forms and reports table.

About a year ago someone suggest unloading
their data and "importing" it into an empty 7.1
data base.
My question is.... how can I make sure the
columns in each table match.
Some of these offices never ran the updates
I sent over the years or didn't run them properly.
So, I am afraid they will have missing columns
in some tables or worse, columns that have
changed names over the years.
