Hi, I represent a digital printing company and we are looking to use Web2Print technology on our website.

we are avid filemaker users and we are in the means of creating with a programmer a project management database software. what we would like to create within this new program is some sort of form that our customers would fill in via a web browser on our website and the project submission would then be within our filemaker database automatically.

so now we wouldn't have to type back in the form informations back in filemaker via an email that would be sent to the project managers once the customer fills up the project ticket.

a job ticket would be created automatically and an email would be sent to the project manager saying that customer "X" asked for a quote on that particular job ticket.

would this be possible with file maker 10 pro and filemaker server 10???

You would need to host your database with FileMaker Server, on a machine constantly connected to the internet. You can then author a PHP form (or you could use Instant Web Publishing with FileMaker Server Advanced) to populate your database accordingly.

You may want to have a look at our services to avoid having to set up your own server:

We've been providing Professional FileMaker Hosting for over 11 years. Using our services, you can log into your databases using FileMaker Pro for regular use, as well as use any of the web protocols to have clients update the database via web forms, etc.

Feel free to let me know if you have any additional questions either here or off-list to jmay(at)pointinspace.com.
