The L33 has 15HP over the LM7, and uses an aluminum block instead of iron. My parents' 2002 Yukon XL features an LM7. It can move okay, but it is a 5700 pound vehicle, with a four speed automatic and truck gearing.

A little more horsepower than that, with the V8 torque production, into a 2600 pound roadster... would be interesting.

I want to go home and play SWTOR and Super Meat Boy all day.


Maybe even check in on my Terraria world... just beat the wall of flesh, and went into hardmode, only put in a few hours since then.

err why would export damage data? Can you create a new db? Export from folemaker to filemaker should be less problematic. Unless all they are looking for is data entry clerk :biggrin:

Honestly, I think their entire intent is to have me as a data entry clerk. It probably hasn't occurred to them that this whole thing can short cut with some other activities.

I don't know why the export damaged data, but I know when I opened the exported file, there were a lot of weird character strings that didn't belong there, additional characters appended to values, et cetera. Maybe importing back into FMP would clean those out, I don't know.

I doubt I can create a new DB on their server, but I might be able to create a new DB on the local machine I'm working on, and if I can get that... oh, right. They're going to give me basically old.db and new.db and say get the data from old into new. The new one will be structured how they want... so if I could duplicate it over to here and work on it locally? I dunno.

see if that can be done. One bad thing is it will reduce billable hours

apparently export wrecks the data, may have binaries in there.

This wrecks the data:
