Is it possible to tell Filemaker to import a file into an specific database?
Yes, but it will involve a ScriptMaker script and an optional AS script.
The case:
Every morning I have a number of BBEdit-files that I manualy import into
filemaker, different databases for each BBEdit-file. I have looked briefly
at Filemaker scripting but have not seen any way to do this.
The file to be imported should be the same name every time or this
wont run automatically. Then create a FM script with an 'import
records' command which stores the previous import order and
optionally hides the dialog.
Then you can either run the FM script directly or call it via
Applescript with a command like this:
do script FileMaker script "blahblahblah" of database "yourDB"
