Using an import engine

[Hurican]

Basically, I am looking for tips, and references on how to use a filemaker file as a scripted "import engine" to handle the moving of data from .mer files to a new set of files without creating a large mess... basically using the engine file itself to handle all of the functionality.

I understand scripting and relationships fairly well, my main trouble is updating the new files, currently held as tables in the engine only by file references. I think I just need a push in the right direction, but will take all the help I can get. :-)
