garrycl has suggested the best solution. I am currently running a website through my cable modem without a static IP: Works like this: You run a DynDNS client on your machine. When your IP changes, it automatically notifies DynDNS of the new IP, which in turn, automatically updates the IP linked to your domain name. Simple concept...works great. Watch the traffic though. Your ISP will pick up on large volume hosting. I use mine for exactly what you want to...to demo apps to clients. If they buy the app, I set up on a legit server. Doing a live internet demo is a big selling point...it's easy to demo from a CD all day but that doesn't show them real world performance through their gateway and the internet. And if you're like me...you're still broke. That means NO T1 line or expensive hosting equipment...or expensive static IP addresses.

Hi! I'm very interested in doing the same thing you are attempting to do. I have to support a data driven website that is mysql/php based, but I'm receiving data from a client in Filemaker Pro I thought it would initially be easy to simply format the data appropriately in FMP, then export as tab-delimited text. Once in tab-delimited format, one can use mysql's LOAD DATA INFILE feature to bring it into a mysql table. The HUGE problem at this point is that FMP properly puts tabs between field data in a record but IT DOESN'T PUT A TAB BETWEEN RECORDS!!! - IT PUTS ONLY A HARD RETURN. I usually have over 20,000 records to import/update each time. I'm going to try to write an Applescript that replaces this hard return with a tab. let me know if you've had any more success with this. RhoXS
