Hi again everyone,
I had just sent the message below concerning the POST command and
FileMaker. I forgot to mention that when I transfer the database to my
local machine and post to localhost, there's no problem. Again, as I
discuss below, I wonder whether MC is not jumping the gun and returning
no data before FileMaker has had a chance to feed it any.
