You could start by researching these internet forums for prior threads which already address this issue. You will find that there will be several learning curves which you will need to overcome to achieve your goals. Good luck.

For all testing and web design you can use standard FM Pro. Only for professional hosting you need Unlimited.

Unlimited is the same as PRO with unlimited IP visits; PRO can server only 10 IP in 12 hours rolling period.

BTW I've never used Developer

I have a very good grasp of filemaker as relational database, I am at the stage where I have to publish my system via the web.

Unfortunately I am a bit clueless on where to start, we have filemaker pro 5 for pc running with filemaker pro 5 server. I have suggested purchasing filemaker developer 5 or filemaker 5 unlimited but alas the cost is possibly to great to justify.

How good and secure can I get database published on the web using v5 and where do I start.

Thanks in advance for any help
