Hi Tom, It may not be obvious from the reply by Jacques, but you have hit the right place to raise the questions.
What I gather from your posting is that you already have a application that uses a defined database structure on the Filemaker platform. Can you elaborate a bit more on what the application is supposed to deliver (functionality/process wise)? OFBiz is a very flexible platform with a mature development framework (and a lot of functionalities already in place) that will surely cater to whatever business needs you may have. Maybe we can have a chat on e.g. Skype to delve a bit deeper into your requirements, needs and possibilities?
