Hi all--

I was looking at the article Building Web Services with FileMaker Pro by Bill Humphries on xml.com. Apparently in FMP 5.5 it was possible to output XML directly to the web by passing the command "-format=-dso_xml&-find". I've been attempting to adapt this method to my version of FileMaker Pro (8.5). If I understand things correctly, FMP has replaced the Web Companion plug-in from earlier versions with Instant Web Publishing. But IWP doesn't seem to recognize the "-format" request. And there doesn't seem to be anything in any of the help documents I've read that suggests that one can export XML directly to the web in FMP 8.5.

Has this feature of FileMaker been dropped in recent versions?

Thanks-- Robert

P.S.-- for some reason, the FM Forums web editor insists on adding a space in the middle of the word "find" in the request string above. It's not supposed to be there, but I can't figure out how to keep the editor from doing it. So just pretend that space isn't there.
