Are there reasons that people aren't using FileMaker Pro? Isn't it quick enough or does it not interface well with Revolution? Isn't it multi-user?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Rick,
Just speaking for myself, I'd say it's because FileMaker can only be reached via ODBC or in a roundabout fashion via its WebCompanion and http-calls, thus requiring complex setup. Moreover, before FileMaker 7 its database underpinnings were no match for the likes of MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle,...

Let me add that on Macs, one can easily and efficiently communicate/control FMP using AppleEvents. However, the beauty and power of FMP is not in its engine but in its GUI, so it does not make much sense to build secondary GUIs in Rev. I suspect that this will hold even with the new engine of FMP7.
