The code, in stripped down form:

    on run
        idle
    end run

    on idle
        tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced" -- or other version of FMP
            do script "script name"
        end tell
        return 5 * minutes -- time between script executions
    end idle

The above should be saved as a stay-open application, then launched. Note that idle handler timing is approximate, so don’t count on an exact five minute interval.
