Exactly what I needed

This is an older version of the program. This version of Filemaker Pro has everything I needed in a database program.

An outstanding product!

I grew up as a computer programmer, I used Access a number of years ago, and I now manage a large software development group. I find this product incredible in both its power and its ease of use. It has been a long time since I've programmed and I don't really have a lot of patience for tedious programming. This tool has an outstanding GUI and many of the constructs you need are built-in and quick and easy to put together. The community forum on their website is a great tech support resource and FM tech support shows up regularly to answer questions. I also have the iPad version. I build my database on my Mac and then download it to my iPad to use. OUTSTANDING!

Excellent upgrade

This software contains some very useful improvements like charting. Mac and Windows versions are included in the box and the software contains none of the the common and irritating activation technology. You are just prohibited from running multiple copies at the same time on a network.

Not a production tool

This version is of limited value for real database work. I'm not even sure about the advanced version since I'm not going to pay for the upgrade without a trial version being available. Basically, there are ZERO tools for debugging. If you do any scripting other than very minor work, this is not a tool you want to waste your time with. The advanced version may be better for production purposes.

exactly as expected

this product, although a bit dated - is exactly what we we needed. it fit our needs perfectly, couldn't ask for more.
