I'm looking for good websites and/or books that explain how to control Filemaker externally using VBScript (getting it to run scripts, create new records, put data in a field, etc.). Can anyone suggest anything? Thanks.

Check out some examples on my website (www.connectingdata.com)

But before you get your hopes up, all you can do is launch FM, quit it, open and close a file and run a script.

You can't add records, you can't put data into a field (although you can do that through ODBC in VBscript).

If you want more VBscript support, please ask for it here

http://www.filemaker.com/company/product_feature_request.html

The more we ask, the better the changes we'll get it.

Running a script is enough since I can use that to create the records and such. Thanks.

Hmmm, no way to pass a variable's value directly to FMPro to set a field's value? If not, I suppose I can do a cumbersome workaround of sending the variable data to a text file and having a script in FMPro import it.

* EDIT *

Gah, just reread the last part of your post. Do you have an example of how to do it with ODBC? I'm not that familiar with ODBC yet.
