Peter, I haven't tried this - but I'd be most interested to learn if you have any success! I have so far achieved a limited result using the revdb features to access SQL Server on a remote machine. A possible workaround in the meantime, which might work for you although it would be something of a retrograde step, is to access Filemaker via AppleScript (I've done this a lot in HC; no reason to doubt it should work equally from Rev 1.1 with the "do ... as AppleScript" feature). Obvously this limits you to both front-end stack. and FileMaker, running on Macs (though not necessarily on the same machine).
