steve-- 

Yes, it can be done. FileMaker and InDesign are both AppleScript-able, so it follows that you can get data out of a FileMaker database and put it into an InDesign layout. 

That said, I haven't ever scripted FileMaker, and don't have a copy around, so I don't have an example readily to hand. With any luck, someone else does, and will post it here. 

I do have a bunch of stuff for marking up/converting to XML tab-delimited text exported from databases for import into InDesign that I'll be posting soon. 

Thanks, 

Ole
