There is no commonality between them, and both use proprietary file formats
Thanks, that's some helpful information. Although not what I was hoping to
hear.

at the same time anyway).
The processes wouldn't be reading/writing to the data at the same time. In
fact, if FMP could simply export a subset to database events, that would
work. The scripts the user is working with only need to read the data via
database events.

not possible to give any definite recommendations.
Basically I have a script that reads TV listing data from a table cell in
inDesign (Date, time channel, title) pulls data for the program from a data
base, then poplulates cell with updated data.
The scripts will run on client machines on a various macs where I cannot
install software (beyond my scripts). Basically they need to run on a mac
out of the box running inDesign pretty much out of the box.
The Filemaker part comes in when the data is first created and updated. It
would be read and modified in Filemaker (using the Filemaker UI) then
exported and distributed as database events files.
