texte = Hi all ...Here is the thing. Client has been operating with Filemaker for years. Hehas a Filemaker server and his POS system are linked to the Filemaker serverwith each POS running Filemaker (not runtime). Each POS system (Mac based)are located at different locations (4 points) and are connected to the Net(24/7). Basically .... A Filemaker Network.Client now wants to go E-commerce, however, does not want to use FilemakerCDML or Web-plugin feature. He wants to use WebCat and have it ODBC / SQLextract 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 outsourced running WebCat but the data is piped from and returned back to hisFilemaker server.He wants to continue to use his back end Filemaker software as faradministrating orders, etc (which he is comfortable developing) but needsWebcat to update the Filemaker server as close to real time. He does notwant FTP, timed mirror duplication or import/export option. He wants Webcatto write data to his Filemaker server as well as extract it for webpresentation via WebCat (Product Catalog, pricing, description, etc) ... Allvia the ODBC / SQL capability.Has anyone done such a thing by combining WetCat & Filemaker? I am stillresearching this to respond to him but would appreciate any pointers,heads-up, godly advise or words of wisdom on this issue.Many thanks ...
