I have an ASCII file with batch header records followed by incidents (can import to Excel). Will Filemaker enable me to collate incidents with headers?

Yes...FileMaker can be programmed to do nearly anything. If you can import it, you can write scripts to edit the data. - Tim Cimbura

Sorry to take so long to answer this. Temporarily lost access to the Machine. In the setup menu under tools, you can choose either the .csv (coma Seperated values) format, or the .txt format. I like the .csv format because you can open and manipulate the file in excel.

Yes, I think Brother will do that. I named every document (ie 2005 Tax Return). However if I accidentally gave two files the same name it added a number after the name. It wasn't essential that I change the name as the title of the document didn't disappear once it was loaded. That's how I occasionally ended up with two files with the same name - I would be distracted and forget to type in a different description/name for the new document. Then a count would be added to the back of the file name. I never did this on purpose, so I only went to 002.

Yes you can, just be careful the type of files you want to move to it. I read that raw files can be a problem.

I use my MiCorder (MP3) for direct recording from many scources that are not in MP3 format. Just the track number shows up in the text screen. I never recorded any thing that was already in MP3 format. I hope this was helpful.

Yes you can according to Roots Magic you can import data directly from Family Tree Maker

Yes - for really old files it generates a little gibberish, but the files are otherwise still legible.

Hello Dee, Thank you for your inquiry. The software creates a file that can get imported into the Quickbooks program. If you need anything else, please let us know. Thank you.

yes, you just have to copy to the next file, or run the ticket thru again to put in the next file, whichever is easier for you

B, thanks so much. Michael, I did ask my friend, but he had no idea about joining files.

I don't recall, as all our files run left to right in alpha order. I'll be glad to check when I'm in the office again on Tuesday (April 28).

You should have plenty of room for that at the "notes" section at the bottom of each file. Only the address prints when doing labels. There are many fields that are not included in the "print labels". good luck Rob J.

Yes. It takes a bit of know how. I couldn't think of a better word than bit for how simple the task of converting files can be. Have you heard of Calibre? Try an Internet search for 'convert eread file'. Best of luck and enjoy the portability of your favorite literature!

The conversion will not be perfect by all means. When attempting to convert the files over to Microsoft Word, it worked fine with some paragraphs being broken. But was very manageable since our word documents were at max 20 pages. We have not tried a spreadsheet yet. If it's that big, i'm sure you'll get some problems, but depending on how large it is, might be tedious to fix. And if you have formulas, the affects of porting it over as well would need to be taken into consideration.

Not that I'm aware of. you'd have to use some other method to do the same thing. In Windows 7 or 8, you can use the "Snipping Tool," which is built into the OS. For Windows XP, you'd have to download a special tool like PrintKey 2000 or SnagIt.

That would depend on your usage, average file size, etc. I am so lazy I didn't bother formatting it. I just use it as is.

I don't know but I doubt it. The best thing to do for an answer is contact Filemaker. Good luck.
