Well, any web page you look at is on one computer somewhere. The web
is just a protocol for communicating from one computer to the other.
FileMaker, and therefor ebase, can pretty easily make information for
a web page, but you can't use its script functions over the web, so
data entry becomes a much more complicated process.
It is possible to access FileMaker files remotely across the
internet, subject to some requirements at the both the host and
remote sites. Both sites need a copy of FileMaker. It will be
frustrating to use unless both sites have a faster-than-dialup
internet connection. The host should have a fixed IP address (not
just a dialup or inexpensive DSL connection).
