texte = Probably a very dumb question...One of my clients runs their back office on FileMaker from where I get the data to drive their website - running out of Webstar and WebCatalog.I have a pretty clunky way of transferring this data and I wonder if anyone has a better idea?I export out of FileMaker into a tab delimited text file, which I then open in a text editor where I add a header containing the field names. I save this as the data table which WebCatalog reads. FileMaker does not appear to have any export options which can be read directly by WebCatalog without this process.Julian Clayton Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
