Re: Import huge database into FM7 question

Hello.

I have been assigned the task of updating a non-profit company's
database system from an earlier version of Filemaker (3.x i believe)
into Filemaker Pro 7.

This database includes two seperate files of records, as well as a
complex menu system created with ScriptMaker.  The client is wanting to
have the updated appearance and functionality of FM7 (basically the new
bells and whistles, interface).

Now I know I could totally rebuild the database from the ground up, but
is there a way to import these scripts and files into FM7, and make
them viewable/workable with the new interface?  My attempts so far have
only imported everything, but it  has the same interface as the older
version of FM (very Win95 looking).  So how can I insert all of this
data/scripts/etc into FM7 and make it all LOOK like it was created in
FM7...

If I was unclear in any of this, please let me know.  I would really
appreciate the assistance to whoever is grateful enough to help.

The same answer as to your earlier question.

The "FM7 Look" doesn't just happen by itself. It isn't built in. Somebody at FileMaker thought it up and implemented it.

The design is what you make it.
