Hi Peter,
I'm new to FMP as well but sucking up as much information as possible
has allowed me to have a go at answering your question.

FMP7 can behave as a web server. It can handle 5 sessions at once. I
have tested the security with a guru mate who used to position
satellites for NEC...he could get anywhere. So I'm convinced that FM is
secure in that regard.

Recently I read about the XML capabilities of FM. This is maybe where
you might like to head. Run a regular Webserver and set up XML pages
that could be updated by the user or not which ever is appropriate.
Using FM as the back end means you wouldn't be restricted to the number
of concurrent users. You would then handle the security on the webserver
side.

That's my tuppence worth. Hope that helps.

You can restrict access by defining groups and their access to fields
and layouts. If you explore the Filemaker folder (provided you have
done a complete install) there is a web security database that adds
much more.
