FmPro Migrator Joins RevSelect
Convert FileMaker to Revolution
We're delighted to welcome a new member to RevSelect, our partner program for Revolution add-ons. David Simpson of .com Solutions is the latest member to join, bringing you his new, full featured Filemaker Pro to Revolution Converter, now available in store.
FmPro Migrator Developer Edition converts each FileMaker layout into a Revolution card, containing all of the fields, portals, text, images and buttons from the original layout. The converted layouts are placed into a new Revolution stack file having a Browse/Find status area, Calendar pop-up substack, utility handlers, converted handlers and stock graphics. Individual card objects are created within a scrollable geometry manager enabled group. The generated stack file provides a foundation for further development of a full featured database application utilizing the Revolution IDE. Revolution developers can utilize the features of the Query Builder or create their own custom code using the revDB functions.
