HI Oakley,
I don't have the time to give you a script at present, but I'll give
you the gist of the process I use:
Make a loop that goes through the folder of files and makes a copy
called "temp.fmp7"
of each file, one at a time and import the data from that file.
I always make that copy in another folder through habit, however there
should be no need for that. Make sure that your script uses replacing
the previous file.
Using this system, Filemaker operates on the same file name and
location all the time.
I have a good example of this at one of the other companies I work
for, and I visit them on Thursday, so if no-one else answers this,
I'll send you a copy then.
