Product Description

For database software, FileMaker Pro has always been almost shockingly easy to use. However, somewhere along the way it also became incredibly powerful-so much so, in fact, that's it's no longer about just creating small-scale relational databases. If you're ready to move beyond the basics and take advantage of FileMaker Pro 7's advanced features, this task-based guide provides the key. By applying the same visual approach, step-by-step instructions, and concise explanations employed by the popular Visual QuickStart Guides to complex topics like creating and managing links between fields in multiple tables and employing the advanced security features to define which fields are editable by different user categories, this handy guide represents the most efficient way for experienced FileMaker users to take their skills to the next level. By the end of the volume, you'll be creating custom databases, using advanced querying features, and managing huge volumes of complex data (text, video, images, audio, PDFs, and more) with FileMaker Pro 7!

4 out of 5 stars Good intermediate book   December 29, 2005
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I found this a very useful adjunct to Stars and Child's book Learn Filemaker pro 7. Agree with the other reviewer that the screen shots are too small to read at a comfortable distance. Also unlike Stars' book the examples are not real tutorials. For me, I found the explanations clear and help me understand filemaker better. Would place SAMS Learn filemaker pro in 24 hr very low in my choice of books for learning filemaker. It hindered my learning more than helped. Filemaker IS NOT a easy program to master. It takes time, diligence, lots of references and help from others. Avoid going it alone if possible.

This is another UNvisual QuickPro Guide from Peachpit Press: the screen shots are way too small and must be viewed outside in bright sunshine. At about half-off list price, a case can be made for purchase, if you're a FileMaker junkie (like me). It's (unfortunately) intermediate level, not advanced (as it claims). It covers indexing options, conditional valuelists, textstyle functions, mass update of serial numbers, script parameters, bulk e-mail, importing with scripts, and communicating with a Palm.
