============== MEDIA RELEASE ================

Wednesday 5th August 2003

5D Services, makers of the ihook IT Management solution announce the
immediate release of FM.NET.


ihook's FileMaker ADO.NET Connector is a data provider for .NET connecting
to FileMaker. It allows applications to connect to a FileMaker database in a
standard way, in a similar way as connecting to MySQL or an SQL Server. The
driver implements all required and optional DataBase interfaces in
System.Data and is provided as a set of DLLs to include in your project.
Documentation is also provided. The driver connects to the FileMaker
database via FileMaker's Web Companion. In the current version the product
doesn't write to Repeating Fields or Container Fields (images), but can read
them.


This product has been built and tested against the Compact Framework and
should work on PocketPC & Windows CE devices, as well as with the .NET 1.1
runtime.
