FX and FMP7

[core origin]

I have been rolling up my sleeves with FX and FMP6 and have made some good headway. I am ready to webify.

However, I wonder how FX works with FX7. Using FX with v6, there is a requirement to name a server, a port, and a file for each query. However, with v7, our former many-file systems might be rolled over into a single file. So the questions are: Is FX v7-ready, and if so, how does one reference a specific table?

Thanks for any feedback you can provide?

Only FM7 Advanced Server will be able to serve XML. Somebody may have some pre-release information on how to remotely (http) access data from that server.

Good Luck.

Yes, FX.php will work with version 7 of FileMaker. However, as has been already noted, this will require Server Advanced (note that FM lists a special deal on their website -- even though FM7SA is not yet available -- $999 for SA and a copy of FM7 for FMU6 owners.)

As for how to reference a table, this will depend on the layout used. When a layout is created in FM7, you also specify which table FM is to use for that layout. HTH

Welcome to the FMFORUMS community, especially the Internet forums. I'm looking forward to learning from a true jedi master and hope we can all contribute to FX's success in some way as well. Welcome, welcome.

Hey... How come Steve didn't give me that type of welcome?

Nah, I'm kidding.

Chris, thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. FX is revolutionizing my business. You rock.
