actually me too use server side Perl script to communicate with desktop
application created in rev and a MySQL database on a server. First of
all it is actually the only secure way to do this, because leaving mysql
port open for everybody is a highly UNSECURE and unrecommended practice.
Hiya,
FMP can import and output XML and apply an XSLT, if you're ok with
not interfacing 'directly'.
Cheers,
Luis.

Hiya,
Anyone tried OpenBase (http://www.openbase.com/) as an alternative?

Does anyone know how MacOs pList files are (optionally) compressed (ie
preference pList files). I can't work it out or find a reference to this on
the net. I have had a few goes with zip, gzip and bzip2 without success so

Don't get me wrong about this - I'm not dismissing FMP out of hand by any
means. We run our accounting system on FileMaker using a system I first
cobbled together some ten years ago. But the lack of variables hurts, as

Cool, I like the filters...
I forgot to mention the other benefit to a relay script which is
that a database-enabled Rev app could be shipped without MySQL
drivers, so (if I understand MySQL licensing correctly) this means
you don't owe MySQL $$$.

If so I'd be most interested to hear more.
The only unit testing I've done are ad hoc tests for complex handlers,
testing them in isolation

Hi David,
Setting the width, height or rect of an image works fine, unless the
angle is set to something besides 0... in which case the size reverts
to the formatted size, and is unchangeable in either the property
inspector or by script...
Is this normal? Can anyone confirm?

This problem just popped up this morning (it had been working fine). I
have a set of overlapping groups with buttons on the side (themselves in
a group) that when clicked, select one of the groups to be visible and
all others to be invisible. This has worked just fine for several months.

Len,
Instead of the application browser, try the Rev Navigator. Go to the
Development menu, select Plugins, then choose revNavigator. I've found it
indispensable for finding hidden things, and selecting components of groups.
