I am about to start a project for a client who uses FMPro dbs and Macs. He wants to upload an FMPro db from his office on occasion to be used on the site. My experience is with Microsoft dbs and ASP. Does anyone know if there's any conversion possibilities to convert FMPro to Access? Maybe the only way to do this is to have him export a comma-delimited text file and upload it. Is there a way to automate a conversion from a comma-delimited text file to an Access db? Any links to sites on these issues would be greatly appreciated.

I've done conversions from FMP to Access and beyond using CSV files. I haven't found a quick and easy way to transfer between the two. I haven't found the ODBC properties of FMP to be any good, so we couldn't link that way.

Kevinj, I use a tool called Scribe Migrate [scribesoft.com].

I dont know if its compatable for Mac database but it might worth talking to them.
