Re: Converting subtables in v11

Paul

I did try that in a test with one subtable. The new table exactly  
matched my table in V11 but still the 'IMPORT RECORD' caused a crash  
when it tried to import the data so i gave up on it. Although  
exporting the data out using variables is slower it works and is it a  
one time operation was not worth investing a whole heap of time into  
investigating why.

One thing i have been considering though which i would do if I
1) Had time
2) was doing this again

Would be to have the import able to to a second import without  
recreating everything...Why? Because the export import is a tedious  
task and if a user could set aside the datafile after the import they  
could all their testing and then import just updates from their live  
system to the ready to go datafile and save a lot of time..but I guess  
if i was going that far i would probably just a 4D-4D connection 
(SOAP)...
