Just a rehash of the 4 book?March 23, 2000 39 out of 42 found this review helpful
I was VERY disappointed in this book. I have the 4.0 book and this isn't much different. I was looking for how to use the new value-lists and found nothing. I wanted to get into validation of my data using calculations and there is nothing, and ODBC a big FM 5 feature is called beyond the scope of the book!
We need a real Bible not a novice book. This book is great if you're just getting started but it's by no means the "Bible".
does anybody knowMarch 16, 2000 5 out of 21 found this review helpful
This seems to be the definitive guide to Filermaker. I agree. But does anyone know anyone out there who actually has a job writing Filemaker Pro. I have never actually seen a job advertised in any major paper. Or for that matter met anyone who actually makes a living cranking out FM code.
The Zen Of FileMaker Pro ChartingJanuary 24, 2000 7 out of 23 found this review helpful
Steven Schwartz has gotten under my skin with how to generate charts in FileMaker Pro (3,4 or 5) using Excel or the X2Max XMCHART Plug-In. By the way that plug-in makes BEAUTIFUL charts. A Demo copy is on the CD!
FileMaker Pro 5 Bible is good for novice user like me.January 16, 2000 43 out of 46 found this review helpful
I'm a new user of FileMaker Pro 5, FileMaker Pro 5 Bible is easy to understand and good for text reference. I think FileMaker Pro 5 Bible is the only book you can depend to use the software effectively. It covers all of the program's steps that anyone can understand. FileMaker Pro 5 Bible is good for novice user.
