Real Time Data Sharing?

in Importing & Exporting

Is there any way to achieve (or closely simulate) real time data sharing between FMP and an outside data source? I'm using FMP 5.5 on Windows, and I may need to interact with a data source on a Linux box. Is Importing/Exporting the only way to go? Can I 'push' data into FMP from an outside ODBC source? Can I view ODBC data through FMP or do I need to import it? Unfortunately I don't have a lot of details at this time, so I'm mainly looking for general suggestions or options that may be available to me...

You might be able to use DDE in conjunction with a terminal app to move data more dynamically, but that is tricky at best. The most straight forward solution is to use a regular import/export/update scheme to move the data around. Do this at whatever interval you feel is necessary, dedicate a workstation soley for this task and it should be pretty invisible.
