Hi,
I have a new customer for whom I must import most data as I can from
their Filemaker Pro database to my own CMS.
I plan to import their data (mostly tables for members and
organizations) into an Access database, then work from there and collect
what I can.
Has any one here some

There's a driver that's included with filemaker and several available
on the web. Simply install the driver on your copy of CF and create a
datasource.
Ok, but then I still need to install the Filemaker database on my
development server.
Is it possible to just copy one file, like with an
A client has a pre-built system on Filemaker Pro 9. The db is hosted.
The website is on a different host.
Am I able to remotely query that db with CF? If so, what is involved?
Does the Filemaker host need to do anything special other than provide
me with the IP, db and login info?
I'm guessing I

It's possible, but the performance was horrible. You have to connect
via a system ODBC (at least, on Win2k3 server) and FMP just wasn't up to
the task of serving any sort of query except a direct dump.
I'd suggest to the client that they move to a more internet-ready DB.
I'll second

That is the web companion. File Maker Pro has its own language, CDML -
Claris Database Markup Language which is pretty much like CFML. It is
tag based, and enables you to build web apps using the web companion.
More or less the web companion is the web part of a FileMaker Pro

I'm trying to find out if there is a way to set up a datasource from CFMX to
FIlemaker Pro 7 Advanced server.
As far as I can tell this should be possible. I found a great post that
details how to do this with an older version of Filemaker here:

The only real reason to use FMP as a back-end database is if people are
still access it through the regular FMP interface.

A potential client is considering porting his FileMaker db to the web to
display his inventory on his site. I've no experience with FM but believe
there are drivers out there for CF to interact with it. Does anyone have
experience with this? Does FM online require a specific type of server in

I have interfaced FileMaker to CFMX done a limited amount of testing.
I think you want to avoid using filemaker as an online db (similar
reasons to those for avoiding MS-Access).
What you could do is use CFMX to convert the FileMaker data into some
other online RDBMS (free or proprietary)

I'd appreciate that. Since the site isn't expecting heavy traffic, I
was thinking a migration over to MS Access or MySQL if necessary. I
don't think the project warrants moving up to SQL server or similar.
I have a customer (we host their website) that has an internal FileMaker
Pro database that he was to put on the web. Can Cold Fusion ODBC directly

I believe it has to be converted to Access ...

My last experience with CF and Filemaker Pro was a long time ago ( 5
years). Did not mean to give bad info. I remember that Filemaker Pro was
REAL slow. If all you want to do is a one time export of data, no problem.
