Lynn,Filemaker has the ability to be able to call Applescripts through the script editor. Cumulus is accessible via Applescr pt. Therefore, you could program Filemaker to, say, open a cumulus database and perform a search based upon data in the Filemaker database.
I experimented with this, and it seemed to work pretty well.
But if all you are using Cumulus for is to display thumbnails, there are probably easier ways to do it.
