I believe that you can, but I have not tried it. I would be interested in hearing reports on this as I need to access a MySQL database with FileMaker, ideally fire off some SQL from FileMaker and get a table back et cetera, et cetera.

You can do this, and I think the instructions might even be in the MySQL manual. I haven't done it for a long time, but my first ever MySQL job involved transferring a load of records form an Access database to MySQL and I did this entirely from within the Access GUI - although I can't remember what I did :) Cheers -- Phil Driscoll
