Step 1:
•
Open the database you want to import records from, and perform a Find
All (Press <Command J>) to display every record.
(Only records that are showing in your old database, will be imported
into the new one.)
• CLOSE that database. (The database you intend to import
records FROM, MUST be closed!!!)

2:
• Open the document to import records INTO.
• Locate the Import Records menu item, from the Scripts
menu, or if using SoundLog
Pro, select Import Records from the File
menu.
Step
3:
Navigate
to, and select the database that you want to import the records FROM

importing FROM MUST BE CLOSED!!!, otherwise, you'll get an
error saying your password doesn't allow you to do this....)
Step

Make sure the field names all line up. This is easily done by selecting
Matching Names in the pull down menu you see in this picture
(See upper right hand corner.).

• Click the Import button.
Step

If prompted, check the box to Perform auto-enter options....,
as seen here.
• Select to keep values in repeating fields by Keeping them

• Click the OK button, to import.
Step
6 For SoundLog Pro Users only - IMPORTANT!!:
Failure to do this will result in a database that
does not perform properly!!!
1)
Repeat steps 1 through 5, importing a record (it can be more than one,
but at least one) from the latest copy of the updated SLP2 layout.
** Simply unstuff another (latest copy) SLP2 document, and import a record
from that.
2) Please check all your SoundLog Pro preferences, as
this process will set them to the defaults.
Why do this? Because when you imported your old records,
some important information got overwritten in some fields I use as a developer
(fields you never need to see or edit). By importing a record from the
latest version, you'll restore that important data.
That's it! Your records should import, and be ready for instant use!
