More advice than reading material: 1) Stick with the CSV upload. You can probably create some kind of script in filemaker that creates them and uploads them to the wesite automatically. 2)If really must make an ODBC connection over the internet Make sure that it is secure... as in VPN, SSH tunelling, or SSL. Reasons for the above: right now it may just be some static html tables that you are putting into mysql, but soon it may house customer data (like cc numbers) and at that point you're asking for trouble.
