Yes, the import process works for the run-time. The mentions in the manual seem to be mostly background on the way FileMaker (and therefore the runtime) works. If you have data that doesn't fit neatly into one of the import fields listed in the manual, you'll be able to import it into one of the User Fields, but you won't be able to see it without creating a new field and putting it on a layout, which will require FileMaker. >2.

That sounds right to me. -- -- Dave Shaw H4 Consulting tel: 206-954-7526 fax: 206-625-1338 ------------------ Reminder to each recipient: To change your list account preferences, go to http://email.sparklist.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=support and enter the email address you used to subscribe to the ebase support list:: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ebase - Relationship Management for Nonprofits, http://www.ebase.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------
