I am importing into ebase that already has about 3500 records. I used the ebase import routine. and I checked auto-enter options during the import. and I have followed the steps in the manual a few times trying to do this still with no luck. Every time I open Ebase now, I see the records that I imported and still when I go to their payment screen(which they shouldn't have since they haven't given us payments) it switches to another member.

Did you use the ebase import routine or the Filemaker Import command? Did you select to perform auto-enter options during the import? These questions are important to the answer. Finally, have you carefully followed the manual instructions on importing?
