Has XML been explored as your default import/export options? As long as you are not exporting grahpics (which would require exporting to a FileMaker file) XML has the ability to dynamically map import/export fields.

Nope, for multiple reasons, but the two main ones are:

1) It would require FM 6 -- which I'm not ready to do.
2) It would (more than likely) double the time it takes to perform an upgrade, which can already take over 2 hours.

That said, I hadn't thought of that approach, and I really need to start learning XML/XSLT anyway.

Thanks!

Would it be practical to handle the entire import using AppleScript rather than relying on a FileMaker Import step?

This is a x-platform unattended upgrade solution.

Or, have you considered a plug-in to read the file?

There's none that I know of that can accomplish this.
