Hadn't seen that before. I was mostly looking at this: http://www.filemaker.com/support/technologies/odbc.html Using an ODBC client running on a local client, I want to submit SQL queries or statements to a FileMaker Pro database.

I will look at that, but my understanding of MySQL is that it is quite cumbersome. For example, can you just add a field to an established database? I was under the impression that required quite a rebuild. If that is not true, then I have been misled. If it is, well that's the reason I used FMP.
