It is posible to copy a hole created database of a file into a layout of a different file, and that the new layout works indepedently from the original file?

Hi. I'm not completely clear on what you're asking, but you can use the tool below to move tables in FileMaker 7 from one file to another. You can then import scripts from other files and copy & paste layouts between files.

If that url is too scary, go to http://www.newmillennium.com and look for the migration tool "FM Robot".

HTH.

Do I need FileMaker Developer to use FMRobot?

Yes. From their site...

The data source for the field names and definitions is the Database Design Report produced by either FileMaker Developer 6 or FileMaker Developer 7.
