About FileMaker Pro Web Companion
There are two ways you can publish your database on the Web:
FileMaker Pro Instant Web Publishing and FileMaker Pro Custom
Web Publishing.
Instant Web Publishing lets you publish your database on the Web
quickly and easily. You do not need to change your database, use any
additional software, or design Web pages. You can control database
privileges such as viewing, adding, editing, deleting, searching, and
sorting records. Users see clear, consistent Web pages which let them
open your file and work with it easily.
Custom Web Publishing allows you to customize the appearance of your
FileMaker Pro data on the Web. You need to create format files, which
are Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) pages that contain CDML
tags, or commands. The CDML tags enable HTML pages to interact
with FileMaker Pro. For an overview, see “Custom Web Publishing” on
page 11-25. For step-by-step instructions on Custom Web Publishing,
see the CDML Reference database inside the Web Tools folder.
Important Regardless of the publishing method you choose, it is strongly
recommended that you publish your database by running it on a
computer with a full-time Internet connection.
