FileMaker Pro is powerful enough to handle most database jobs yet easy enough to create simple solutions in minutes. This practical, 15-hour "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, 9 and 10 including field creation, finding, sorting, layout mode, container fields, auto-entry, validation, printing, scripts, calculations, importing, exporting, interface design and new FIleMaker Pro 10 features. 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.
