Things I need to setup web publishing

[actionman007]

Hi,

I have been approached to build a database for a small library operation, that journals can be borrowed from etc. The client has asked for it to be accessible from the web (outside our intranet), what Filemaker software do I need to get to do this - I was thinking Filemaker 8.5 Advanced to do the development in, and then Advanced Server to roll it out on... do I need a special computer to run it off - or can it run on a web server?

Cheers,

Dan :(

Please take a look at the various Tech Briefs related to Server and Security on the FMI Web site:

http://www.filemaker.com/support/upgrade/techbriefs.html as well as the on-line documentation for web publishing.

And yes, FileMaker Server 8 advanced is the software you'll want.

You're probably going to want to have a separate database server.
