Is there a way to import multipe table styles at once?

Post by keuler »

I'm trying to import multiple table styles from another project. Is there an easy way to do this? The current procedures seems to require importing the styles one-by-one.

Thanks.

I'd be surprised if Flare would allow you to import just one table stylesheet at a time. You could set up an import file that would import all table stylesheets or even multiple specific ones.

How many table stylesheets do you have? Do you really need to do an import to bring them in, or will this be a one-time import and you won't need to keep any connection back to the project where those table stylesheet originated? If you just need to get them into your project and don't need to keep the connection back to the original project (technically speaking, you don't need to use global project linking), you could just copy the table stylesheets in Windows Explorer and then paste them into the desired folder within the Flare project, also from Windows Explorer. Your Flare project will recognize their presence.

Hope this helps; hope I haven't misunderstood your intentions.

RETIRED, but still fond of all the Flare friends I've made. See you around now and then!

Thanks Nita. You wrote the magic words: "Your Flare project will recognize their presence." I had figured that doing a creation-by-import would be required to properly add the table style files to the new project so as to preserve internal DB integrety, etc. Glad to see this copy paste solution works.

On the idea of global project linking, I've got that in mind to research.
