<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I want to import data into FileMaker Pro 10.<br />
Some of the data may already have matching records.<br />
Some may have partial matches (names but no addresses).<br />
Some will have no match.<br />
How do I get all of the data in without duplicating existing records.<br />
Should I do 3 seperate imports using each of the radio buttons ?<br />
&nbsp; • &nbsp;add new records from the source file <br />
&nbsp; • &nbsp;update records with information from the source file <br />
&nbsp; • &nbsp;update matching records with information from the source file &nbsp;<br />
Or will one of these buttons take care of all of the records?
