[GRASSLIST:5239] Re: Still having database trouble.

[Kurt Springs]

First results of the test:  It appears that my Filemaker database and 
GRASS have made contact and shook hands.  I still have to figure out a 
few things, and I haven't tried using the the UTMs to place the sites on 
the map, but it is a start.  Does anyone know about writing SQL queries 
in Filemaker?  It looks like I can use Filemaker's Script to do that, 
but I haven't found any books the have a good treatment of it.  This is 
one place (the only place in my opinion) where Microsoft Access has an 
advantage.  You can create queries graphically.

Hope everyone had a good Holiday.  Lets hope 2005 sees some major 
advances in our favorite software, esp. our favorite GIS package. ;-)
