Hello, We have been using ebase through filemaker for a while now but have just installed the new 1.03 version on a new computer and wish to transfer the ebase names and payments to the new computer. the "old" computer that has ebase on it has developed a glitch in ebase. we wanted to avoid transfering this glitch so we thought we would import the data via excel by exporting first to excel from ebase and then importing into the new ebase. but we are having trouble getting our legacy id to match up with the ebase fields.
so. question 1. is there a way to do this without exporting and then importing. if the answer to question 1 is NO then... question 2. what are the name datafields? name1_1 1_2 etc. (i have tried for two days to download the data dictionary but my computer is not able to access it. i get an error message. is there a problem? this has happened from two computers.) these keep getting messed up. so that the middle initial field ends up showing the first, middle, last and prefix in the middle initial field. ?? anyhelp in this matter is greatly appreciated!
