The FileMaker Pro database software program has both the power and the flexibility to handle all your everyday home and business functions. Its functions cover tasks from preparing invoices, mailing lists, purchase orders, and reports, to managing inventory and tracking projects. With its new Web features, FileMaker Pro enables you to manage information on your desktop, across a network, or over the Web. FileMaker Pro databases are accessible to ordinary Web browsers; you don't need to have additional Web-serving software or to write HTML code. Authorized users can even edit, delete, and update records.
Version 5.0 features a new user interface as well as instant Web publishing. Users now have the ability to publish databases to the Web using the layouts already designed in FileMaker Pro. There is also a new security option available to limit access to your databases; a new layout/report assistant; an enhanced ScriptMaker feature; QuickTime, QuickTime VR, and ActiveX support; and much more.
