About exchanging data
You can exchange information between FileMaker Pro and other applications by importing and
exporting data. You can:
1 import data into an existing FileMaker Pro file, either into a new table or into an existing table
1 share data with and import data from ODBC data sources
1 convert data from other applications to new FileMaker Pro files
1 export data for use in other applications
Saving and sending data
You can save FileMaker Pro data as a Microsoft Excel file or a PDF file, allowing you to give data
to users who don’t have FileMaker
Pro. FileMaker Pro lets you email the Excel file or PDF file
when you save it. You can also create scripts to save/send records as Excel or PDF files.
FileMaker Pro can send email messages to one or more recipients. You can manually enter
recipients, the message subject, and so on, or you can use values from fields or calculations.You
can also create scripts to send email or send a snapshot link to your database, which captures a
found set and displays it for another user.
Supported import/export file formats
Most applications store data in their own file format, but most can also exchange information using
intermediary formats. For example, FileMaker
Pro can import and/or export files in Microsoft Excel,
tab-separated text (tab), comma-separated values (csv), and XML, as well as other formats.
If you want to exchange data with another program, check the documentation that came with that
program to determine a common intermediary file format that both FileMaker
Pro and the other
program support.
Note Most file formats do not import or export formatting settings such as font, size, style, and color.
