I'm accustomed to working in VB on a PC, and I can't begin to explain how useful Microsoft Access has been. I use databases to store all my various image specs for Photoshop, as well as catalog specs and product data for InDesign, and launch my scripts from Access as well. Unfortunately, my boss doesn't like PCs, and would like to see everything done on a Mac. I'm comfortable with javascript and filemaker, but I'm an all-around novice IT guy and I can't even tell if it's possible from what I've been reading. For now, I'm still using Access on my PC to save instructions in txt files which can then be read with javascript on the Macs.

Is there an easy way to read from a database using javascript? It's too much to ask for an example, but I could really use a point in the right direction... books, web sites, whatever. This must be a very uncommon use for javascript because I'm having a hell of a time finding an example. I've seen some great examples to get someone started with InDesign and Access... surely someone must have done the same with filemaker.

Thanks,
Doug
