How to Repair a Schematic Filemaker
If you are having trouble creating a database schematic in FileMaker or FileMaker Pro, there is a simple way to check what the problem is. Most likely one or more of the data files is defective and will have to be replaced. To identify the issue and repair the problem, FileMaker offers the Database Design Report feature. This attempts a basic schema mock-up, diagnosing problems when they occur.
