I used a combination of Frontier and FileMaker Pro to automate the web page construction of our semesterly class lab assignments. I used a FileMaker Pro interface to manage which classes are in which labs. Some relational features of FileMaker Pro were used to match up lab requirements and course requirements.
Using FileMaker’s “Send Apple event” feature in its scripting environment, I could send Frontier a script to execute. That script then did a search on all databases, finding all current information, and then sort and construct a web page with all of it. I hadmade modifications to it over the course of a year while there, continually improving it.
