Default Multiple FM Pro DBs - 11-03-2005 , 01:09 PM






I have a situation with multiple filemaker pro databases that are
becoming cumbersome to open one and then open the other, then open the
other, etc. What I'd like to find out is if there's any kind of
integration tool or program that would allow me to link these databases
together for efficiency sake? For example, one db is timesheets, one is
project specs, one is estimates.

I'd like to get these all tied together, but don't know how.

Thanks,
JWeb

You can write a Filemaker script that opens several database files at
the same time (more exactly, in quick sequence).

If you have these in FileMaker 7+ format, you can consolidate all of
the databases using FileMaker 8 Advanced or the FMRobot tool. By
consolidation, your multi-db situation becomes one file/db but now has
multiple tables.

I would personally recommend FM8.

Hope this helps,
