IMPORTANT!
First, make backups of your database! Importing records cannot be undone! (Of course records can always be deleted, but it's much easier to just start over, if you make a mistake.)
If the database you want to import from is a SoundLog Pro™, or Filemaker database, then first open that database and do a "Find All" <Command J>. Records from these types of databases can only be imported if they are visible/showing, so you MUST show every record first!
Select "Import Records" from the "File" menu.
Select:
The database whose records you wish to import.
Select:
- "Matching Names" in the upper right corner.
- "Add new records" in the bottom left.
- Then hit "Import".
(If this import is from a database other than SoundLog Pro™, then drag the fields to line them up with their corresponding field in the source database. Then, make sure the arrow is checked, so the transfer/import between those fields will occur.)
Check the box to "Perform Auto-Enter Calculations", and hit "OK".
That's it! Depending on how many records there are to import, the time to complete can vary. (Example - A database of 115,000 records takes about 2-2.5 hours to complete.)
