I have about 7,000 text files inside of a folder that I am trying to
import into a FMP7 database that has a bunch of text parsing
calculations inside of it.

Filemaker locks up every time I try to import the data. If I try to
import the 7K text files into a different FMP7 database with no
parsing calculations, it works fine.

The problem is that I need the parsing calculations. Note, that the
parsing calculations are parsing as needed, vs storing.

I suspect it realy doesn't lock-up. But rather that the calculations take a
lot of time to calculate. 7000 records times a lot of data, might require a
lot of tiem. My suggestion is to try import one text file. See if this
works. If it does your file is OK. Now import all the files and go shopping.
Depenfing on your system it might take up to a few hours even to update.
