FileMaker Pro is the top-selling database program for Macintosh and a strong second for Windows. Version 5 features a new interface that complements the look and feel of Microsoft Office, as well as improved conversion of MS Excel spreadsheets into FileMaker databases. Built-in HTTP support lets authorized users search edit, delete, and update FileMaker Pro records for up to 10 users, while improved Web security lets you limit access to your database and ActiveX facilitates the automation of tasks for Windows users. While FileMaker's ease of use may make it seem deceptively simple, its sophistication, power, and flexibility is largely unparalleled. FileMaker Pro 5/5.5 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickPro Guide is designed for intermediate to advanced database users and developers who want to break through to the next level of FileMaker. This Visual QuickPro Guide takes you from working with records and files to creating and designing databases, printing and networking, Web publishing and more.
