So, why is the Scriptology Theme Studio so helpful?

24U SimpleTalk Plug-In
Talk to another FileMaker, talk to other applications, talk to your database via TCP/IP!
24U SimpleTalk Plug-In allows FileMaker Pro to communicate with user, another FileMaker Pro, and other applications via TCP/IP. You can simply trigger scripts or evaluate calculations in remote FileMaker Pro clients, or seamlessly integrate FileMaker Pro with other TCP/IP capable applications, such as those created with Real Basic or Runtime Revolution. You can even connect to and control your FileMaker Pro solution via Telnet!
Primary features:
- Act as server, waiting for a TCP/IP connection from a client app/computer
- Run a script on demand from the client app/computer
- Evaluate a calculation on demand from the client app/computer
- Perform custom commands/actions depending on received data
- Act as client - connect to a server, send commands, wait for responses
- Talk to another instance of itself via TCP/IP
- Add a command-line interface to your solutions
Implement almost any TCP/IP client or server directly in FileMaker Pro. Turn your solution into a POP3 client and download e-mail directly to your database. Or build an SMTP server and accept e-mail directly from e-mail clients and SMTP servers.
