I'm trying to find out more about this application that's available in the 
RunRev store. Has anybody used it? Does it work well?

I am *really* wanting to convert my company's current FileMaker database to a 
LiveCode application using MySQL as the database. The current FileMaker 
implementation is many years old, having been converted over and over again for 
each new version of FM. It has become extremely unwieldy and very difficult to 
maintain over the years. Trying to fix bugs or add new functionality is next to 
impossible. Part of this is my lack of knowledge when it comes to FileMaker 
scripting, which is pretty ugly I might add (sorry if I'm being offensive to 
any FileMaker devs out there).

Anyway, just wondering if anyone has done something like this and if there are 
any major concerns to be aware of. The current database is quite large, and I 
worry about getting everything converted just right and getting all data 
imported into MySQL. It's our company's contact management system, tracking 
contacts, orders, invoices, etc., so it's pretty important. Would it be better 
to just start a new LiveCode application from scratch, and skip trying to 
convert it using a tool such as this?

Thanks,
Chris
