I am using Filemaker Pro 11 Advanced and I want to know how (if it is possible) to import and export value lists from one filemaker file to another one. Thanks |

I don't think you can do that. (apart from fysically do a copy/paste) But have some questions about your reasoning. Generally it is bad practice when you are duplicating value-ranges, fields, scripts. It is easy to understand why. Say you have six files that all use the same value list. When the value list changes you have to change it six times. A lot of work and mistakes could easily happen. You should look into using a table using as a source for your value list. You then need to change values only once and all related files/tables will use that simultanous. |

I think to import also value lists shoulb be something important to add for a new version of Filemaker. Finally I did copy & paste. I want to keep all files fully independant, and that means separate value lists; some of the are used for websites. In case the files be used only locally it woul be simple, Thanks On 09/09/2010 8:34, Ursus wrote: I don't think you can do that.
