So my question must actually be:  What is the
AppleScript syntax for importing an Excel file into
Filemaker.

I think your best shot is controlling this from FM.

--pseudo code
--get list of files to import

This would be a Perform AppleScript to get the list of files, placing the result into a global field.


--loop thru list
--tell filemaker to import file x

Loop through each file in the global field, and use a variable ($ notation) to change the filename in the Import Records statement.


Hopefully this is enough to get you started.
