Accessing FP data from external programs (MS Assess)

[Tim Fischer]

Actually, I do this now.  I have a filepro database that, whenever 
updated, it writes to a mysql database on a different server.  The great 
part is, we have created the ability to update this information from the 
web, and it also keeps the FP table in sync. 

I would be happy to answer any questions you have.
