FileMaker Pro is powerful enough to handle most database jobs
yet easy enough to create simple solutions in minutes. This
practical "how to" course by FileMaker expert John Mark Osborne
starts from intermediate level and uses a single invoicing example
to demonstrate FileMaker Pro 7, 8, 8.5, 9 and 10 features and
techniques including interface design, relational database design,
relationship operators, multiple predicates, table occurrences,
portal filters, security, scripts, calculations, FileMaker Pro
Advanced, multi-user solutions, record locking, multi-keys,
deleting duplicate records and new FileMaker Pro 10 features.
Examples of the invoice file are provided at every stage of the
