I keep all my movie and TV show data in one large database (let's call it Big.mdb). Recently I made a new, smaller version of that database (Small.mdb) by exporting records from Big.mdb to Small.mdb.
All went well, except that if I bring up a record in Small.mdb and click on an actor's name in the Cast listing to see what other movies I have for him , nothing happens. In Main.mdb, this feature works fine - I get a listing of all of the actor's work that I have in Main.mdb.
How can I get this feature to work in Small.mdb? I have no idea why it wouldn't be working.
I think you have to re-import all actors. Only your movies are exported to your new database. If there is another possibility - I don't know. Maybe there is (or: should be) a second export for all actors, but I didn't have used the export function by myself.
In order to achieve what is possible, you have to try the impossible over and over again. Hermann Hesse
I think you're right. It's a shame that the actor's data isn't exported with each database entry. When I opened Small.mdb and clicked on Actors in the left- hand column of the main XMM screen, there were none listed under any letter.
Perhaps Alessio can incorporate this feature in future. I can't seem to get the Import Actor Information function to work properly; I have to re-import the movie information using my default IMDB script. That might me my fault, though.
