Summary: Big possibilities
Comment: We have stretched the power of this program to the limit and we have been able to produce the most amazing databases. This is basically THE program to have if you want a great database. We run it on a Mac and it is fantastic.

Summary: Never received this item
Comment: Can't really review it because AAA Liquidators never sent it to me. Nor did they send it to nearly 100 other people they ripped off.

Summary: No product - no response from Reduction Mart
Comment: I never received my product nor receive any response to my e-mails to Reduction Mart. I hope that Amazon will reimburse me in some way.

Summary: 8.5 upgrade won't install on Mac
Comment: I paid the company almost $200 for a downloadable upgrade to version 8.5. When I downloaded it, the disk image file downloaded fine and opened into a nice CD icon. But after that, bupkus. Double clicking did NOT launch an installer, just a windoow of the file contents. Double clicking the (supposed) application file did nothing but launch an incomprehensible script window of some sort. Tried to change the file name to add a .pkg or .app extension, but no dice, locked and can't change it. Even went so far as to use disk utility to make a new .dmg image from the mounted cd-icon, made it read-write, then changed the file name, still no installation. Then tried to submit an e-mail help request using their web page, got all the way thru the e-mail, then got a message saying sorry we only do phone support for this. Phone support of course is only during "business" hours. I used to think the product was good, but their customer support STINKS.

Summary: great program with one exception
Comment: i've been using this fmp for a few months now. i was able to get the general gist of how to use it but personally found taking a class really helped my understanding. the program can do so many things! well worth the money.
however... one of the books i read on the program "FileMaker Pro Design & Scripting for Dummies" stated, "FileMaker provides full, multiuser support for up to five users without requiring the user to add any additional licenses or patches." that statement is misleading. i understood that statement to mean one license would allow five user. not true! as long as each computer attempting to view the same file has a unique license number, five users can access the same file at the same time. if more than five users at a time are going to be using the file, you'll need to buy filemaker server.
