A Filemaker Network.Client now wants to go E-commerce, however, does not want to use Filemaker CDML or Web-plugin feature. He wants to use WebCat and have it ODBC / SQL extract the data from the Filemaker server. He also wants to be able to ODBC / SQL write data back to the Filemaker server. In essence, E-com is out sourced running WebCat but the data is piped from and returned back to his Filemaker server.He wants to continue to use his back end Filemaker software as far administrating orders, etc (which he is comfortable developing) but needs Webcat to update the Filemaker server as close to real time. He does not want FTP, timed mirror duplication or import/export option. He wants Webcat to write data to his Filemaker server as well as extract it for web presentation via WebCat (Product Catalog, pricing, description, etc) ... All via the ODBC / SQL capability.Has anyone done such a thing by combining WetCat & Filemaker? I am still researching this to respond to him but would appreciate any pointers, heads-up, godly advise or words of wisdom on this issue.Many thanks ...
