Default Retaining import order - 12-16-2005 , 10:55 AM






I'm having 'issues' with FMP 8 retaining the import order for CSV files.

I select File/Import records/File/ (then I open the CSV file and I'm in the
'Import Field Mapping' screen.

I arrange the fields in the order that I need and import. All is well and
good until I close FM & reopen it to do another import.

I THOUGHT that "Arrange by: LAST ORDER" would retain the last sort order
that I used. The sort order goes back to a default, not the last sort
order, even though it says "Arrange by: Last Order"

Is there a setting that I am missing?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

If you are going to do the same import repeatedly, script it. The
mapping will be retained.
