Automatic Importing

[Goliath]

Hello to all. I am basically just starting out with Filemaker for my company. As usual some requests have come down the pike for me to try and resolve if possible.

One being, there is going to lots of data saved to folders in the coming year. The files will be generally tab-delimited text files. Is it possible to for FM to automatically import files into a database? Options or thru scripts commands?

Sorry if it an unusual or already been addressed question(the joy of being a newbie again).

Not eve sure i am asking in the right place

I have this FM ver 8.5 pro application that use Troi for reading the serial port real time for data and storing it to a table (Displayed Incoming Call Layout Screen) in ABC application, suggesting what various incoming telephone DID trunks are doing and hanging up

I want to show this screen, (Displayed Incoming Call Layout Screen) on other work stations but not poll the comport

I guess what I am asking,

Can I Read Only Share a FM database from another FM application.. or how can I do this?
