[FX.php List] Why not convert from CDML to fx.php?

[John May]

Yeah, fx.php alone isn't going to help you much.  You need to upgrade 
to FileMaker 7 or later as well for increased stability.

>>I have learned a couple of things from your answers:

>>- CDML errors may occur for odd reasons
>>- CDML errors are difficult to diagnose

>>Thanks
