FileMaker Pro / Contactizer Sync

I have been using FileMaker Pro for one of my businesses and would like to be able to sync calendar and contact information with Contactizer so that I can stop double entering data.

Currently, Contactizer is pulling information from Address Book and sharing with iCal, however, it is my understanding that they are switching to a different type of sync (not sure what the technical differences will be).  Is there a way to create an interface either with the existing sync or the one to be released?

Has anyone seen any solutions on how this can be done?

Thanks!

Re: FileMaker Pro / Contactizer Sync

hey flyhighone, you could always export from filemaker as a tab-delimited file and import to contactizer, and vice-versa.... though i do understand that might be as cumbersome as simply entering the data twice. you could, though, create a very simple applescript which could be executed in/by filemaker when you change contact data that automatically exports the data as tab-delimited then imports that data into contactizer.

just a thought...

Re: FileMaker Pro / Contactizer Sync

I appreciate the advise, however, I need something live and invisible. 

Since this post, I found a sync tool, http://www.addressbookmanipulator.com that will sync with Apple's Address Book App and thus Contactizer.  It requires a couple hundred dollars worth of customization for the FMP database that I am using but it will work.
