Hi Jim,
Sorry to come to the discussion so late, but couldn't you avoid a lot of problems by hooking Revolutions straight into the FMPro database via the Query Manager and ODBC ? This way you can use SELECT, INSERT and UPDATE sql-sueries to fetch and manipulate data inside your FMPro database. There are a few people on this list who have used such solutions to circumvent limitations in FMPro. If you need more information, don't hesitate to poke the list.

Jan,
I thought that Rev only communicated with certain select databases. From the doc under "revOpenDatabasse" it says:
The databaseType is one of "MySQL","Oracle" (Revolution Enterprise only), "ODBC", "PostgreSQL", or "Valentina".
I tried a while back to work with one of these and was quickly overwhelmed. Sarah was a big help but, in the end, it seems I was better off sticking to my old technology, i.e. FileMaker => text file => Run Rev => text file, and finally => FileMaker. Low tech, but it works.
There is one possibility I haven't fully explored, and that is to use AppleScript to import maybe half of the FMP file at a time into Run Rev and then patching the two together in RR. I'm worried, however, about transferring the pieces back into FMP from RR.
