Working with information in records 4-29
Copying the found set
You can copy the found set to the Clipboard to paste the records into a
different application, like a spreadsheet. Container fields aren’t copied.
In Browse mode with no fields selected, press Option-Command-C.
FileMaker Pro copies the data to the Clipboard in tab-delimited format
(in fields, separated by tab characters), without text styles, in the order
they were added to the file.
Deleting records
You can delete an entire file of records, delete groups of records, or
delete single records. When you delete a record, you permanently
discard the data in all the fields in that record.
Important You can’t retrieve deleted data, and you can’t undo deleting
records.
Before you delete records, it’s a good idea to make a backup
copy of your file.
