Looking to solve a problem with imported data from an old FileMaker file (v.11.x, which in turn was converted from v.6): Some of the Checkbox Fields don't work; the imported data is there but is not showing a 'X' in the Checkbox.

Ask FileMaker: REPAIR THE CHECKBOX PROBLEM/S?  The solution is to either set up the Value List in the Manage Database Dialogue Box or in the Inspector; ensure the Field is ‘connected’ to the Value List (See: S:\SHAREDK\CERTIFICATION\New_System\IN_HOUSE_ADMIN\Project_Coordination\Modules\Assets\Select many items in value list.jpg)

Also, it would be nice to inform the User what would happen if the "Yes" or the "No" Button is clicked, instead of a dull error message.

Ask FileMaker: how to deal with importing data, where some of the Fields are linked with another Table, which already has data in it.  Will it overwrite those Fields?
