FileMaker Pro 8 Expert
Training
Provided by The Virtual Training Company
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 an expert level and uses a calendar example to demonstrate FileMaker Pro theta join relationships, complex calculations and sophisticated scripting techniques. Moreover, relationships, calculations, scripts and other features are combined to show the true power of a FileMaker solution. Even if you don't want to create a calendar, this tutorial will teach you techniques you can use in any solution. Examples of the calendar file are provided at every stage of the creation process, so the user can easily review one section without starting from the beginning.
