OK So you guys may not want to support ODBC because the amount of development required for 2 platforms would be a nightmare, etc and so on...
Why not then set the standard for XML/XSLT and CAD. XML/XSLT is starting to be incorporated into every database and accounting program and web development suite. To my knowledge there is no CAD XML/XSLT library standard defined yet.
When you see someone hit a button in Filemaker and MS Excel launches and pops up with a perfectly formatted report completely delivered from Filemaker you can't help see the power of XML/XSLT in Filemaker.
Why don't you guys be the leaders here? This is your chance to define XML/XSLT for CAD. XML is that independent translator that can work across platforms and talk to any application before long. Seems a natural extension of VectorScript as well. This all could be a great conduit to creating web content right from VW's with a click of a button.
