Thank you for the prompt reply, and I have to say that ODBC is already
setup
and running in my FMAS. The problem now is: how can I automate the
import script
in FM if  the server version does not let me do that (Import/Export
operations are not schedulable
in FMAS 9...) ?

Robots.

Meaning a client machine set up with a scheduling plug-in like Troi
Events (there are other plugins that do scheduling). The machine is on
all night. The plugin triggers the script to run at a certain time, and
at the end of the script, the plugin is set to run the next time. The
import is done on the client machine, not the server. Importing is not
available on the server.

It's a pain in the *** to dedicate a machine this way, but many of us
have done so in order to run scheduled scripts.

All right then, I will setup a robot such as you described, although
I do not know what machine I will use for that purpose yet...
but at least it is a solution and let me centralize everything.

Thanks again

Diego
