Automate Importing

Nov 20th, 2007

Hello to all. I saw a post about multiple imports from a folder into Filemaker. I plan to give it a try soon. What I am curious about is there a way to Filemaker automatically import the files from a folder. This could be a once a day or once a week type task.

The files are text (*.txt tab delimited), created regularly, and saved to a folder on a Mac OS X server. The server has FM Server 9 installed and several individuals can access the Database via PC or Mac.
