I have been a silly boy!! I had a Filemaker Pro 6 file with 4600 entries, and wanted to send 22 of the records to be printed at another office. Instead of sending the whole file I decided to create a smaller one. Instead of duplicating the 'Original' I duplicated the 'alias', selected 'omit' and found 22 records I wanted, deleting everything else, leaving me with a file of 22 names. When I went to my 'original' file, it now only has 22 names. Is there an easy way of getting the 4600 name file back, or will I have to rebuild what I can from the most recent back up? I realise this is a 'Newbies' list rather than 'Filemaker' - but I am hoping someone can save my day! CliveinSpain Mac 10.2.6 on iBook
