FileMaker is a relational database; Database Events is an object database. There is no commonality between them, and both use proprietary file formats (not that you'd want more than one process accessing the same database file at the same time anyway).
I would suggest picking one or the other to hold your data (or a third option such as SQLite, which is also bundled) and have everything talk to that, either directly or via an intermediary as appropriate. Though without more information on what it is you're trying to achieve, it's not possible to give any definite recommendations.
