If the database is being hosted on a PC, but accessed from a Mac, you can
run AppleScripts from the Mac. I have the AppleScript on the Mac with the
database open over TCPIP. My interaction is with the local FileMaker
application. I just tell it what I want it to do with the database it has
open.

Example_

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
show (every record of database "Package Database")
sort by field "email agent"
end tell

You would have to stick to FileMaker Pro Scripting to make it available on
the PC side and contained in the database- although you could use Visual
Basic on the PC side.
