Can a script open another DB and execute a script that's in that DB?

Every day I need to import records from a primary dbase1 into 8 other db's, depending on the record type. I know I can perform a FIND in dbase1, and then open the targeted dbase and perform the IMPORT, but its tedious to do this eight times, and I'm a bit lazy laugh.gif" border="0 . I know I can write a script to perform the eight FINDS in dbase1, but is it possible to include in that script, a comand that:

1) Opens up the target dbase

2) Commands that target dbase to import the records

3) closes that dbase, and moves on to the next FIND and target dbase

Then I could perform all 8 imports with one button click. Or am I going about this all wrong? Any ideas are welcome!
