    Import from dbf truncates data

    I've checked the Paradox database and used delimiters that are not already used in the data fields. The import into FM is still not quite right. How does Filemaker know what you are using for the delimiters? I've got about 20 fields in my database and when I import into FM it seems everything...

    Import from dbf truncates data

    I tried to import data from a Paradox table into FMP8. I got an error about not being able to import and that the format had to be a dbase file. So I exported all the records from Paradox to a dbf file. I was then able to import successfully into my Filemaker file. Problem is that on one...
