Thanks Dave. Your references & site gave me most of the info needed to get FM 6.0 working with CFMX on Mac OS X -- this means that you should be able to interface it on any CFMX platform and run them both on any common platform (win, Linux).
For the original poster, this means you can use FileMaker with CFMX -- either as an on-going database, or as a means to manipulate (primarily offline) FileMaker databases and incorporate the information into a more robust online db.
