Web-style integration in FileMaker Pro 6.0 has taken a huge step forward from version 5.5 the look and feel of the desktop is almost seamlessly translated to intranet application. One new timesaving search feature is the extend/constrain function: if a search returns too few or too many results, it takes just one step to expand or contract search parameters. Searches, the meat of the package, are simple enough for beginners but offer enough complexity to keep power users happy. FileMaker Pro's data manipulation tools are more powerful than before, which means administrators would do well to limit users or train them carefully. For some formats, it's as simple as dragging and dropping folder contents, so multimedia management, for example, becomes almost trivial. The software is not designed for the lowest common denominator, though-advanced users will find FileMaker Pro's scripting language for queries and other tasks handy, if not all-powerful.ĭata entry couldn't be easier. The interface and design tools are comfortable for Windows users of all levels of experience.
Installation and setup are both surprisingly quick and easy, and the templates and wizards will have most users frolicking with their new or imported databases in just a couple of hours. FileMaker Pro 6.0 makes data management for individuals and small groups engaging and almost fun.
