You can import
data into Computer Cuisine Deluxe from a FileMaker Pro
file or from another application's file. The recipes you
import become the "found set."
NOTE: It's a
always a good idea to make a quick backup copy of the
file Computer Cuisine Deluxe before you start.
To import the
data:
1. Computer Cuisine
Deluxe imports only the records in the found set in the
order they're sorted. So if you're importing data from a
FileMaker Pro file, you don't need to export the records
or create a new FileMaker Pro file with just those
records.
2. Launch Computer
Cuisine Deluxe and enter your password.
3. Choose Import/Export
from the File menu, and then choose Import
Records...
5. Select the name
of the file to import, and then click Open.
6. If you're importing a
Microsoft Excel file and it contains more than one
worksheet, Computer Cuisine Deluxe displays the Select
Worksheet dialog box. Select the worksheet that you want
to import and click OK.
7. In the Import Field
Mapping dialog box, match the fields with the data you're
importing. (When importing from a file format that stores
field names, like FileMaker Pro, DBF, DIF, and Merge, you
can use the View by matching names options to
automatically match the fields.)
Import data to a field
in the right list
Make sure there's an
arrow between the data and field name. If there's not,
click the dotted line to change it to an arrow. (If a
field name is dimmed, it's a calculation, summary, or
global field and can't accept imported data.)
Make sure there's a
dotted line between the data and field name. If there's
not, click the arrow to change it to a dotted
line.
Carefully check each
arrow and field name to be sure the correct data moves
into the correct field.
8. Select an option to
add or replace records:
Click Add new records to
add the imported data to the end of the file you're
importing into.
Click Replace data in
current found set to replace the existing data in the
file you're importing into. If there is more data to be
imported than there are records in the found set, the
additional data is not imported.
9. Click
Import.
10. If you see the
Import Options dialog box, select options and then click
OK.
While importing,
Computer Cuisine Deluxe enters data as defined by Auto
Enter entry options. Some Auto Enter options (like
modification date, time, and name, serial numbers, and
lookups) may overwrite the imported data.
The records you import
become the found set. After importing, check the data in
the found set and update lookups if needed.
NOTE: To stop
importing: Press Command-period. To delete the records
already imported, choose Delete All from the Mode menu.
If you delete the found set after using Replace data in
current found set, you delete your original found set.
Make sure you have a backup before you do
this.
