RR and FileMaker

[Jim Hurley]

The recent discussion on interfacing FileMaker and Rev has aroused my 
curiosity.

I have occasion, especially at election time, to work with FileMaker. 
Since I  have never been able to decipher the arcane scripting 
language in FileMaker, my alternative has been to export the 
FileMaker file as a text file, make my changes using Transcript in RR 
and then import the altered text file back into FileMaker.

Can I assume that this is not a really dumb way to work with FileMaker?

P.S. I know there are other databases (Valentina etc.) which 
interface with RR but I can't bring myself to learn yet another 
complex application which I will use  only on rare occasions.

I anxiously await the database improvements in 2.0
