This feedback is about:Converting older FileMaker Pro files to the .fmp12 file format

MS: Ask FileMaker if it is possible to have Data Import Templates, which may be used when importing a variety of Data Sets from a variety of sources and File Formats.
This will help when having to run Data Import Sessions, which requires the change of Field arrangement in the Import Field Mapping Combo Box (See: [i]) and also sometimes the Data that is set to be entered automatically is already in the Data File (i.e. Entered By, Enter Date, Unique ID), so we need a Script that will allow the User who does the Data Import to switch off certain Field Settings on/Off as needed, without having to open the Manage Database Dialog Box.
See also [ii] for Separating (aka Parsing, See: [iii]) Names from Addresses and enter them into the correct Fields.

Q. How can we add a utility to FileMaker that will help users make a batch import of Contact Details, Property Addresses etc.?
See the sample Import_Template.xls, available here: F:\Power Safety\Stationery\import_template.xls (where 'F' stands for our local Server)
