Dreamweaver / ColdFusion and FileMaker ?

[smith]

Is it possible to use Dreamweaver MX2004 to publish web pages and use FileMaker as the database it connects to - using the application server ColdFusion? What is the best configuration for using Dreamweaver and connecting to databases created in FileMaker?

[Garry Claridge]

HTTP requests are used to access data in FM. The results are returned as XML. Hence, if ColdFusion can deal with XML you are in business.

Good Luck.

I'm not sure about the Coldfusion part, but as Garry suggests, if it can handle XML then you should be able to work with it. However, your Dreamweaver question makes me think you're planning to use it in Design (visual) mode. However, the best way to use DW for server-sider functionality/connectivity is in Code view, where I feel it is one of the best web code editing environments around. This supposes that you know all the requisite languages you plan to use though. I've never used DW's WYSISYG environment for any server side stuff, so I can't comment on how it might work with CF & FM, but I'd guess that the FM part might be a struggle.
