import/export

[Walter D Vaughan Jr]

<top post Friday>

Whatever you do, practice with few sample databases until you get the feel.

What I do is add this code like this to the default "input" table
Do you know how to read filePro code? 
The following will import in "Add Records" if you are not in update mode,
but standing on a deleted or blank record and press the "I" key. 
Note you do not enclose the filenames in "quotes" like you would expect

::end:
@keyI:::
loop::import word imp=c:\import2014.csv:
:not imp:end:
::1= imp(1); 2=imp(2): 3=imp(3)
::lookup -  r=free  -e:
::goto loop:
::end:
