Migration

Greetings,

Migrating from FileMaker 6 or earlier to FileMaker 7 or 8 is a complicated issue, and moving tables into one file is really the least of the concerns.

Tables can be compied and pasted as can scripts and fields in FileMaker 8.

The more important issues are getting everything converted properly.

I would suggest reading some of the whitepapers on FileMaker's website that discuss the issue in greater detail. Here

If you have any questions after that, feel free to ask.
