Hi, Many thanks for everyone who have replied. Its seems Manuel's suggestion regarding iFrame sounds really good. BTW, I am using Savant as template engine, and integrate it with Manuel Forms Generation and Validation would be a good idea (there is a Smarty plugin for this class, but I am using Savant). Basically, I have a problem porting my own FileMaker database with many multi-page forms (plus large tables and big drop-down lists, displaying thousands of items). Things made quickly with native GUI tools often very difficult to port to Web-based GUI. <snip>

Andrei, Had to do the same thing a couple of years ago, one of the fields involved European phone numbers. No matter what "native" export method I tried, the phone numbers ended up getting converted to exponential notation. IIRC when dumping the data FileMaker saw that field as numbers and treated it accordingly. So I dumped it, sucked it into FoxPro, opened up the .dbf header and changed the field to character, and saved it. Then it could be imported into Access ( which was what the customer wanted.)
