1 For information on enabling Instant Web Publishing in a database, see FileMaker Instant Web Publishing
Guide.
8. Set up a web publishing solution for the database by doing any of the following:
1 Enable Instant Web Publishing for the database. For information on using Instant Web Publishing, see
FileMaker Instant Web Publishing Guide.
1 Create a custom website or application to query the database for XML data via a query string in a URL. For
information on using XML data with Custom Web Publishing, see FileMaker Server Advanced Custom
Web Publishing Guide.

stylesheets by using the CDML Converter to convert CDML format files and then enhancing the converted
stylesheets, or by creating new XSLT stylesheets. For information on using XSLT stylesheets with Custom
Web Publishing, see FileMaker Server Advanced Custom Web Publishing Guide.
