I have no idea but I am fascinated by the possibilities. Please post to the list if you find anything.

I believe the ODBC command set supported by the FMP drivers is extremely limited. If you haven't already, you might want to get in touch with Branko Rumora (<bane@xs4all.nl>, http://www.rumora.nl) who knows more about ODBC and FMP than most, and writes ODBC drivers for the Mac platform.

I hope this is helpful.
