Hi
I am developing a Drupal website for an art school. I have set up a CCK based form for seminars with 22 fields. Name of seminar, number, description etc. The 22 fields are identical to 22 fields that the art school uses in FileMaker to manage their courses within the school. So my question is if anyone knows of a simple and easy way to import the information from the FileMaker database to Drupal?
Best regards
Einar

Hi,
You might want to look into the table wizard and migrate modules. I found them to be lifesavers when bringing in data from other sources. Table wizard would create a new table within the drupal database (named seminars perhaps). Once you import your data (via csv as a possibility), this data is now viewable to drupal. The migrate module would then "bring" in the data to nodes which is then Views enabled.
