You have to export Filemaker files as text files (called .csv files). Those files can be imported into Bento. And vice versa. John,

I too need to access it (link to it), and would like to do so via Bento. That way, each of us has our preferred UI. Is there any way to do this? Any help someone could give would be much appreciated.

This will work really well too but may not be as suitable if there are hundreds or thousands of records to match where a search may be faster. Hi Jon and thanks for the tip.

Scroll down to the matching Patient ID and shift click to select all the same ID's. Then click "Add to list" Alternatively:-
