| FileMaker Plug-in Directory: http://www.filemaker.com/plugins/ FileMaker's own site has the most complete listing of available plug-ins. If you need to find out whether a specialized plug-in even exists, this is the place to start. Although there are many plug-in developers, the following publishers have some of the largest selections. New Millenium Communications: http://www.nmci.com/Products.htm New Millennium has revised versions of all of their plug-ins to make them compatible with FileMaker Pro 7. They will also be maintaining a Web page that lists all plug-ins that are on the market (not just theirs), with a field for their FileMaker Pro 7 status (FileMaker Pro 7-compatible version available, FileMaker Pro 7 version announced, FileMaker Pro 7 version not announced) along with URLs for the sites of the developers.
