That said, QuickDNS Admin is fully AppleScriptable (and recordable). Furthermore, QDNS comes with the Domain Compiler, with which you can convert standard BIND- or MIND- (Nonsequitur)-format zone files. It should be possible to write a FileMaker and Lasso solution where your data is stored in FMPro and converted as a batch operation with either Domain Compiler or QuickDNS Admin. QuickDNS Pro will notice any changes to its Primary Data folder and Secondary Domains file, within minutes of the change(s). If that's not fast enough, you can bring it to the front, simulate a cmd-R keystroke, then hide it again, all with AppleScript. If you decide to pursue this project, and complete it, would you be willing to share it? ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com http://www.menandmice.com
