Exporting repeating field data<br />

?<br />

Some file formats (like SYLK, WKS, and DBF) can only interpret one<br />

value per cell or field. When <strong>FileMaker</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> exports to these formats, it<br />

exports only the first value in a repeating field. To export all repeating<br />

field values, split the fields into separate records.<br />

1. Make a clone of the file you want to export.<br />

See “Saving a copy of a file” on page 1-11.<br />

2. Open the clone, and then import the data from the original file.<br />

See “Importing data into an existing file” on page 8-4.<br />

3. When you see the Import Options dialog box, select Splitting them into<br />

separate records, and then click OK.<br />

Choose <strong>FileMaker</strong> Help Index from the or Help menu, and then type:<br />
