I am using the new FMP 11 recurring import table, which works pretty
well for my needs, but I have a filepath problem that others must have
come across:

I have set the path up in a Mac environment, but when PC users try and
make the import they can't find the file. I am almost certain this is
because of the "/" vs "\" of Macs and PCs. Is there some sort of if
then script that I can put in depending on what platform is performing
the import?

Can you tell us how you have your filepaths set up?

One of the Get functions will tell you which OS the database is running on,
but I can't recall what name it is. Using that you could create an If
statement to use the appropriate path with the Import Script command,
e.g. in psuedo-code:

If (Get[Platform] = "Mac")
Import [MacPath]
Else
Import [PCPath]
End If

or change the filepath for a single Import Script command,
e.g. in psuedo-code:

If (Get[Platform] = "Mac")
Set Field [Path; MacPath]
Else
Set Field[Path; PCPath]
End If
Import [Path]
