Interesting. I'm finding that web interaction is leading me to use greater degree of normalisation in my filemaker databases. That means relationships. In one instance recently I created a TOG specifically for the web app so that we could send all the data through a single call. It required seven calls to create seven related records in seven different tables beforehand. Now it uses one call - that is a lot less travel time regardless of FMS response time and the web page response is much quicker.
