I think CF only needs ODBC compliancy in the chosen database in order to
integrate the SQL calls. Is that right? If so, is FileMaker ODBC compatible?
I looked at the FileMaker site and saw no mention of it.

For the FileMaker solution, it looks like they want you to use the:
"FileMaker Connection Assistant to create interactive forms that connect
directly to FileMaker Pro 4.0 databases"
in Claris Home Page. So, what exactly is the "Connection Assistant"? The
site is very vague, making it sound like a magic solution, but is it a
scripting language? Extended markup language? ?
