OmniForm Filler database from another database source. You can
import data from three sources:

The selected form must be closed.

This contains information exported from an OmniForm Filler
database.
• Any supported database source, such as FoxPro.
Available sources depend on the installed database drivers.
• An OmniForm Mailable Filler.
