I'll look into it, as after yesterday, I think I'm going to have to get SOMETHING up before Fall.
It's a state-wide garden club organization that needs to come up to the 21st Century....from the 19th. I intend to set up a server for them using the Mac Mini Server and have the chapter and district secretaries keep the membership information up to date. FMP is going to be the behind-the-scenes database system, but I need some way to get the data from FMP into Workgroup Manager that is automated. Rather than doing it manually myself.
Regards,
Chuck
