Can I use fmresultset with FM 7?

[Don't Panic]

Hi,

I think I may have taken a wrong turn. Just recently found a need to import XML into my FM 7 database. Started looking in the FileMaker Professional Training book for info on XML. In the CWP section they use the fmresultset grammar. Tried to find info on this new grammar and found very little, except when referenced with FM Server Advanced.

I noticed that fmresultset was not an export option with FM 7. Then it finally dawned on me that maybe fmresultset XML could not be imported into FM7. Am I correct? Should I be focusing on using XSLT to transform my XML to FMPXMLRESULT instead?

Thanks.

I think the fact that fmresultset was only mentioned much in FMSA7 is the result of sparse documentation rather than anything else. I think you're confusing the "grammar" with its elements. is one of the top elements of the "fmpxmlresult" grammar (which is importable). It's basically the data. is the fields. Both are within , which is the (only) topmost element.

Short example of FileMaker XML export:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

0

00:00:00:00

True! the ONLY import option (for xml) is FMPXMLRESULT. If you can export (or web publish) as this -grammar, then you can import directly. Otherwise, you'll need an XSLT to transform...

YES, that's my next project (an XSLT for converting the various grammars)
