I am really annoyed. I can't seem to do anything to make it work, I have
tried imputting it into other dbases in filemaker pro, before importing it
into ebase, but it keeps on doing the samething...Is there a way that I can
to a replace command once the data is entered? I am concerned that I am
running out of time.
