About time [Posted on 2005-10-28] So glad I can now finally email a specific record using the PDF feature. Been waiting 6 years for that. Now program does everything I need it to. Amazing that I wrote my own programs with no computer training at all.
Powerful - Yet Easy To Use [Posted on 2006-08-03] I have been experimenting with relational databases for some time now and I have used both Microsoft Access and Filemaker. Without question, Filemaker has consistently been the easiest, most intuitive of the two products. I am not a programmer but simply an end user who likes to delve into spread sheets and databases as the need arises. Microsoft Access may have more advanced features, things I would probably never use, and conversely it is much more difficult to navigate and it is not as user friendly from someone who isn't a programmer.
The beauty of File Maker Pro is that in about 2 hours of sitting down and going thru the help files, you can literally be up and running in the rudimentary aspects of relational database protocols, and you can also produce some fantastic, professional looking interfaces and reports for your data. I upgraded from version 7 and I really enjoy the new calendar pull down menus and the creation of PDF records within the program and sending via e-mail. It also features several new tools that help in importing and exporting data and in creating better looking forms and reports. If you are a savvy database user, the cost to upgrade from 7 to 8 may not be worth it depending on your level of expertise. I like to stay current on all of my software so if I use an application on a regular basis then I stay current with the latest version - that is my motto. People needing to find a relational database application and who need a quick, powerful tool to assist them need to look no further.
