I have a script that calls for an import of an excel file stored on the
network drive.  The file is called Daily_Log.xls.  The file is updated
every morning before associates come to work.  When the first person
logs into the system this script opens that file.

The file is always called Daily_Log.xls but the data is new every day.
For some reason the import always says that it can't find the file and
opens up a window and the user is having to click on the file which is
always there.  But it seems that even though it is named exactly the
same, FMP7 thinks that it is different or missing.

How can I correct ?

When you are in script maker and specifying the name of the file and the 
path to it, is there a check box in the lower left corner of the dialog 
box with the words "Save relative path only"? If you find this check 
box, make sure it IS NOT CHECKED. This will tell FileMaker to use an
ABSOLUTE PATH to the file.
