Needs FileMaker Pro 5 minimum.

3 fields : 1 = text ; 2 = text ; 3 = container

To import a single picture :

(* script "single picture" *)
set picturePath to (choose file with prompt ,
"select a picture" of type {"PICT", "GIFf", "JPEG"})
set {OATID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to ,
{AppleScript's text item delimiters, ":"}
set pictureName to (last item of (text items of ,
(picturePath as string)) as string)
set pictureFolder to ((((items 1 thru -2 of ,
(text items of (picturePath as string))) as string) & ":") ,
as string)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to OATID
tell application "Finder" to set ,
pictureType to file type of picturePath
open for access file picturePath
set thePicture to read file picturePath as pictureType
close access file picturePath
tell application "FileMaker Pro" to ,
create new record with data ,
{pictureName, pictureFolder, thePicture}
(* end script *)

to import "batch" all pict, gif and jpeg from a folder and subfolders
(use Tanaka's osax)

(* script "import batch" *)
set avableTypes to {"PICT", "GIFf", "JPEG"}
set theFolder to choose folder
set listPictures to (MT List Files theFolder of type ,
avableTypes return as alias with sub folders) -- Tanaka's osax

repeat with thePicturePath in listPictures
set {OATID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to ,
{AppleScript's text item delimiters, ":"}
set pictureName to (last item of (text items of ,
(thePicturePath as string)) as string)
set theFolder to ((((items 1 thru -2 of ,
(text items of (thePicturePath as string))) as string) & ":") as string)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to OATID
set pictureType to ,
MT Get Info thePicturePath about file_type -- Tanaka's osax
if pictureType is in avableTypes then
open for access file thePicturePath
set thePicture to read file thePicturePath as pictureType
close access file thePicturePath
tell application "FileMaker Pro" to ,
create new record with data {pictureName, theFolder, thePicture}
end if
end repeat
(* end script *)

French is my first language, Dutch my second and ...
AppleScript my third.
