DomBrown Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 Hi all, I am a newbie and I am just learning Filemaker 5. I have been given a task of suppying my company DB to a third party, and because of data protection act etc I have to send just the forms/layouts with out data? I have seen that I can save useing the clone function, but I have 50 or so layout forms that all link etc. This would be very confusing. The DB has a main menu form, is it possible to save this DB with all the forms and no data? Any help much appreciated Dom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help much appreciated Dom[/qb] How is it giving your DB to a third party "Data Protection"? i am sure alot of us would like to protect it for you too. Answer to last part of your post is yes Save as clone w/No records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomBrown Posted January 14, 2002 Author Share Posted January 14, 2002 What I mean I cant give the data base out fully populated ... Does this make sense?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Schaub Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 Ok Makes sense You will want to make clones with no records. From there you will have check all your relationships, because when you make a clone or a copy sometimes the relationships are lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
