Since the architecture is the same, the plug-ins should work with 5.0. An event-trigger Plug in, such as "Schedule-it" (MAC) or "doscript" (MAC) or "Script Scheduler" A dialog Plug-in, such as "Troi Dialog Plug-in" or "DialogMagic" or "InputDialog" (MAC) A credit card Plug-in, such as "CreditCard Plug-in" (MAC) or "TellanFMX" or "øAzium CC Authorize"

A security Plug-in, such as "SecureFM Plug-in" or "NWS-SoftKey" or "removeMenu" (MAC) A mail Plug-in, such as "MondoMail" (MAC) or "SMTPit" (WIN) or "DbMailer" or "Mail Agent" A file Plug-in, such as "Troi File Plug-in" or "File Toolbox" Here is my recommended list of "must-have" plug-ins: You'll find many Plug-ins for complex calculations and even some for creating charts. The file Plug-ins are especially useful for their ability to read and write to unique text formats that otherwise might not import, export or be accessible with the ODBC Plug-ins.

With versatility and functionality, Plug-ins can really enhance your FileMaker Pro databases. Since they can also be cross-platform, many of the Plug-ins have replaced AppleScripts or WinBatch or other mini-applications to perform functions that cannot be done within FileMaker alone. Although many software applications use plug-ins or extensions, FileMaker Pro Plug-ins are different from other types of externals since they can perform different functions, not just mimic existing steps or act as macros of recorded multiple steps.

Beginning with version 4.0, FileMaker Pro has had the ability to accept external functions with the use of Plug-ins.
