Integration Details:

The plug-in bit version that you use depends upon your FileMaker Pro bit version and the bit version of Microsoft Outlook. All applications need to be running in the same bit version. Note: 32-bit applications and 32-bit plug-ins will work on a 64-bit operating system.

Successful integration of FileMaker plug-ins requires the creation of integration scripts within your FileMaker solution. Intermediate to advanced experience with FileMaker Pro, especially in the areas of scripting and calculations, is necessary to integrate this plug-in. After review of our overview videos, sample scripts and documentation you find you need assistance please contact us or fill out a Request For Quote.

Mac Template Details:

The Outlook Manipulator Mac Template is for development purposes only. For full functionality to communicate directly with Outlook for Windows the full version of the Outlook Manipulator plug-in is required. Unfortunately, communication of any kind to the Macintosh version of Outlook is not available.
