Article ID: Q115291
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, versions 2.5b, 2.5c, 2.6, and 2.6a

SYMPTOMS

In the Goodies:Misc folder is an application called MACIMP.APP for which no documentation is given. If you attempt to run this application, you receive the following error message: 

   API Library not found

CAUSE

This application is run when IMPORT.APP is run or when Append From is chosen from the Database menu and a file type that requires importing is selected. The file types MACIMP supports are: 

   4th Dimension, version 3.0
   FileMaker Pro, version 2.0
   Microsoft Works, version 3.0

MORE INFORMATION

MACIMP.APP requires four parameters to be passed to it before it can function correctly. The correct parameters are passed by IMPORT.APP or the Append From command. The parameter statement in MACIMP.PRG is 

   Parameters <mtype>,<mimport>,<mfilename>,<mfields>
where
  • <mtype> is "4D", "MSW", or "FMP".
  • <mimport> is .T. for IMPORT, .F. for APPEND.
  • <mfilename> is the name of the foreign file.
  • <mfields> is a comma-delimited list of fields in the current work area for APPEND. It is not needed for IMPORT.

The source code for MACIMP.APP is not included in FoxPro.
