Data Import - Part VI

17/07/2015

Ask FileMaker why the ID idea is farcical in FileMaker: I imported thousands of records with an ID that contains letters and numbers: The ID starts with four letters followed by an underscore and then five digits: URID_47607.  The idea was to 'connect' the newly imported data with existing records that have the identical IDs.  However the relationship 'went' with other IDs, that have the identical number: 47607, only the preceding text was "ING_".  Does this mean that FileMaker cannot distinguish between two differing ID's when the differentiator is text? Or am I missing out something?
