Yes, we have over 100 FileMaker databases to convert, though thankfully only
a handful need to be on the web. Some of them are a tangled mess of
cross-file relationships and complicated dependencies, so that should be
fun. With only 3 of us to run every single facet of IT at a large school, it
will indeed take some time. That was the main motivation to do it
incrementally and run FM6U and FMSA8 in parallel until the job's done.

Thanks again Steve, and everyone else who offered help.
