No, filepro doesn't allow you to use a variable to
reference the imported fields.  That is a main reason
that I wrote JHIimport.  JHImport gives you a visual
interface to do the import that is similar to
importing a text file into an Excel spreadsheet.  Once
it collects the appropriate information it writes a
processing table to perform the import, and then
imports the data.
