    I use the following code to import binary files in Flexpro:
    ImportSettings.ImportCompleteFile = True
    ActiveDatabase.RootFolder.Import FName, “Binary files (*.*)|*.*”
    The problem is that it will display the ‘Binary Data Set ‘BinaryDataSet’ Properties’ dialog box.
    Is it possible to import binary data in a Flexpro dataset without having any visible dialog box?

    There are two possibilities to import binary data files with VBA:

    1) Create a FPScript formula using the ReadBinaryFile function.
    2) Use the BinaryDataLink object in VBA.

    
    Dim oBinaryDataLink As BinaryDataLink
    Set oBinaryDataLink = 
       ThisDatabase.RootFolder.Add("Demo", fpObjectTypeBinaryDataLink)
    oBinaryDataLink.FilePath = "...ImportfilterDemoFile.tst"
...

    See the FlexPro ImportFilter example.

    Thanks.
    The second option does exactly what I needed.
