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 beginner level and uses a single invoicing example to demonstrate all the features in FileMaker Pro 7, 8, 8.5 and 9 including: field creation, finding, sorting, layout mode, container fields, auto-entry, validation, printing, scripts, calculations, importing, exporting and interface design. Examples of the invoice file are provided at every stage of the creation process, so the user can easily review one section without starting from the beginning.
