FileMaker Runtime Solution

WebWizDirect is a FileMaker database application distributed by 2Geckos consulting

When we build your database files into a runtime database solution, our Developer Utilities create a new Mac OS X or Windows solution folder and place the runtime application, the database files, and an Extensions folder inside it For Windows runtime solutions there are also required Dynamic Link Library (DLL) files
