Tom --

Grubba is a flat-file system - as far as I can tell, if you're going to go
that way, you might as well use Google spreadsheets.

Exporting out of Filemaker is easy -- just save as a CSV (comma separate
values) file, and you'll be able to import to Excel, Google, or any other
database out there.

If you can't open your file, I have a new copy of Filemaker (I use it both
locally, and with a hosted version -- worldcloud.com -- that's just $12 a
month that my users can access via the web).

I might be able to open your file and save it as a CSV file for you.

-- Maria
