Add new table
To add a new table, enter the following in the [Table name] any unique name for the new table and click on the button [Create]. A new empty table is then created with the name you have entered. Double-click on an entry to switch the dialog to the [Fields]to create new fields for the table.
Copy existing table
If you want to copy an existing table, select the entry to be copied with the mouse and then click on the [Copy]. Then click on the button [Insert]to insert a copy of the table.
Import table
In this dialog, you can also import tables from another FileMaker file. To do this, click on the [Import...] and then select the FileMaker file from which the table is to be imported.
Select all tables from the external FileMaker file that you want to import. Click on the button [OK]if you want to start the import of the selected tables.
Delete table
To delete one or more tables from a FileMaker database, select the table(s) you want to remove and then click the [Delete]. The selected tables are deleted from the database after a new query.
