Hi all,
I am trying to transfer to the Newton a little Database made with
FileMaker Pro.
I first exported the Database in several formats (Tab-separated text,
comma-separated text, XML and HTML).
Afterwards i tried to transfer these files to the Newton using NCU
without great results....
The XML didn't work.
The Tab-separated and Comma-separated text made a note on the Newton
for each record.
The HTML actually worked and I could see it with Net-Hopper, but it
isn't of much use in this way.
Could you please point me to some resources or kindly tell me how I can
transfer this kind of data to the Newton?
I tried Leverage, FilePad, FileMaker Companion but they either don't
connect successfully to the Newton via Apple Talk or don't have at all
the possibility to establish connections to the Mac.
Tonight I am going to try a connection with the Performa with serial
cable, which should work at least for FilePad. However it would be much
more comfortable to do it with the Titanium and the Newton :-)
Maybe it is something easy and I am missing the solution.
Sorry for always asking questions, but I find the Newton really great
and I would like to use it more.
Until I got the Wireless Card I was just playing with it time to time,
but now I'm beginning to use it everyday and I would like to do as much
as I can with it :-)
Thanks for the help,
Michael
