August 23, 200718 yr Newbies In an attempt to have my Data warehouse Department use FM, (hooray), I am trying to find out if there is a way to use FM as a front end to modify the contents of a single SQL 2000 table. My proposed work flow is to populate a FM database from the SQL table by importing the data, make additions and modifications to the table data and then reinsert the data directly back into SQL table. I am unsure how to export the data back into the SQL table directly. Can anyone give me some guidance as to how this can be accomplished?

However, they have warned against tryingto use FM as a true front end to the External Sources; It is good as a compliment to FM for integration.
