: New Here...

[Chuck Pelto]

Greetings All,

Taking a break from bird prep activities to check the mail.

Lots of interesting advice and commentary.

Some replies to comments:

I have FMP Developer. Doing a hybrid would be no problem on that 
account. The interesting part, which I have not thought too deeply on 
would be networking the 'solution' from FMP's perspective. Last I 
looked they didn't like stand-alones to be networkable. [Note: I've 
abused them over this and other such failings on FMI's part.]

I might have to knuckle-down and do the database thing inside of Rev in 
order to overcome that issue.

Follow-on questions, after perusing the tutorial:

[1] Can I declare an object to be a button? And run scripts when it is 
clicked on?
[2] The Enterprise version is ODBC-aware? Then I should be able to find 
a way to hook into it via AppleScripting for changing data. However, 
command/control and inter-operability with other apps would still be 
something of an issue.
[3] How does Rev deal with the passage of time and Idle() activities? 
Can it be set to check for a change in status? Or does it require an 
outside agent to activate a script? Example: Every 60 seconds do 
myCheck(). Or does something have to nudge it, as an external 
applescript would do by calling a ScriptMaker script inside of an FMP 
datafile?

Back to the bird.

Thanks,

Chuck
