Watched folder for excel import

[416freeze]

Hi there-

I have a folder of excel .csv files, all formatted exactly the same (headers etc.). New files are constantly added to this folder.

Is there a plug-in or something (perhaps filemaker can do it alone?) that would import any new files added to the folder automatically into a filemaker database that will reside in the same directory?

Any help is appreciated

Look at folder action applescripts. You could get one of these to trigger a Filemaker script when a new csv file is added.

An introduction and examples here:
